Taxes: Where can I find my tax history online?
I was told to go to a website and enter my SS# to get my tax history or something to that sort. Where's the website that you enter a SS#?
-clueless.

Did not mean to make you feel stupid. We don't know you and you question was worded to make us feel we should error on the side of caution.
The only website that can legally use you social security # are the IRS and your States Comptroller. Any other use for asking for your ss# has to be in use for setting up a transaction account were reporting trans actions to either of the aforementioned are required.
To access either of these, for your own information can be done by going to their websites. As I said the IRS is [Link](Mouse over link to see full location). You will need you use a search engine for your state comptroller or controller of the treasury . Both sites have menu's you can use to find the info I believe you are looking for.
Again. It was not our purpose to offend, only to insure your identification security and to hopefully answer your question.
Xenolan is correct do not go to any website where you are directed to by an unsolicited email. No agency needing your personal information would ever do that.
Now if by chance you need the information you speak of. The IRS website address is www.IRS.Gov. Once on this site there are different menus that you can use to find the information you are searching for.
If you don't need the information, disregard the email or contact your local police agency to see if they would like the email forwarded to them for investigation.

Do NOT do this! There is a 99% chance that you are being set up for identity theft. It's called "Phishing".
I'm guessing that you received an E-mail or something directing you to a website where you can enter your social security number and get information. Neither the IRS nor any other legitimate agency would EVER ask you to do this. I'll say it again, because it's important: NO legitimate agency, bank, or company will ever request your personal information via E-mail.
If you want to get information about your tax history, credit report, or any other personal and confidential information, the way to do it is for YOU to approach THEM, not the other way around. Do not respond to E-mails or other offers to provide this information to you. Do not click on the links in these E-mails. And above all, do NOT enter personal information like your social security number into ANY website unless you know for an absolute fact that it is legitimate and trustworthy. The fake sites often look exactly like the real ones, so the only way you know if you've got the real thing is if you type in the address yourself.
If you want to do anything online involving the IRS, go to www.irs.gov. That is the one and only legitimate website for getting information about your federal taxes. If you want information about your state taxes, go to www.(whatever your state is).gov - where you go from there depends on your state, but it shouldn't be difficult to figure it out.
