IN: 40 people notified after tax documents found in dumpster

Posted on February 18, 2016 by Dissent

Following up on the station’s earlier report, Paris Lewbel reports:

Nearly 40 people have been notified by the Indiana Attorney General’s Office after their tax documents were found in a dumpster.

Many of the people were not Indiana residents.

The Indiana Attorney General also sent a letter to the nearby tax preparer to find out how customer information ended up in the trash.

Read more on The Indy Channel. The tax preparer suspected as the possible source of the documents was not named in either news story.
