H.R. 3170 — To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide relief for taxpayers that were victims of identity theft to commit unemployment insurance fraud.

This bill requires the Internal Revenue Service, in collaboration with the Department of Labor, in taxable years beginning in 2020 or 2021, to

implement a process to hold harmless taxpayers who are identified as having unreported income if those taxpayers believe they are victims of identity theft, or that fraudulent unemployments benefits were claimed in their name; and
require states to report the amount of fraudulent unemployment benefits that are excluded as income from Form 1099-G's issued by the state due to suspected or confirmed fraud.
