INDIANA, (WOWO): The Indiana Department of Revenue is announcing their new program that will better protect taxpayers’ identities when filing their state income tax returns. 

The department will be using an automated identity verification service to help confirm the identities of all Hoosier taxpayers due a refund in 2014. It is expected that more than 90 percent of all returns will be verified as a result of this process. Some taxpayers may also be required to take an identity confirmation quiz as an additional level of protection. This new security measure is expected to prevent identity theft in Indiana, protecting taxpayers and saving Hoosiers millions of dollars.
