It was a horror story. They had to prove to the IRS that it wasn't them and took over a year to clear up, after being fully audited. The IRS isn't quick to believe someone that it wasn't their income.
And they found this out after they filed their income taxes, they were due a refund and were sent a letter stating that they owned over $3000 to the IRS.
While in the end they didn't have to pay, they did go through the hassle of dealing with the IRS for over a year because of a stolen SSN.
I've also read other stories in the paper of where this has happened. It is a big deal if someone uses your SSN to get a job.
