IRS on alert for tax cheats, scams

Question: How can i send an email to the IRS?

My ex-wife filed us married and together after forging my name. She had already filed for separation, and didnt have a power of attorney for taxes till she forged my signature while i was deployed to Iraq. I had already filed separately, but she went back and filed as together. She owed money to the IRS from before we were married in the first place. Anyhow, a California Judge ruled in my favor ordering she pay the money owed to the treasury and i was not at all responsible. I was in the Marine Corps, my taxes always get payed and i always get a refund. This was decreed in 2004 from the 2002 tax year. I was deployed to Iraq when were separated and she forged my name to file us again. Well, copies of the divorce were sent to the IRS but they still coninue to try to get money from me and im tired of it. I have sent them an innocent spuse form and talked to them several times on the phone. Im fed up and would like to sue the IRS if possible, but im in Germany now, to call is expensive.

Answer: You’ll never get anywhere suing the IRS. And e-mails are sure to get a non-response. You’d better communicate in writing via certified mail.

Question: what to do about irs claiming I owe taxes from a job I never worked at? (maybe Identity theft?)?

My father just got a letter in the mail from the irs today saying he owes money from his 2007 taxes. From a job he never had. They claim a bank paid him 6000 dollars in 2007. He had a full time job all year but he never worked at that bank. The IRS claims he owes 900 dollars in back taxes. HE never got a 1099 from the said bank as the IRS claims. What can he do? This sounds like identity theft to me, but how do we fix this? He never worked at this bank.
any help PLEASE!! THANK YOU!

IRS Audit of Tax Returns

Question: I think my check to the IRS was lost! What should I do?

So I owed about $15 in interest to the IRS for a late tax payment. I filled out the little slip they sent with the CP letter and mailed the check on August 6th. I made sure I had put:

Taypayer Identification Number/ Security Number, the Tax form (1040EZ) and tax year (December 31st, 2008 as stated on the CP letter).

The letter said the $15 had to be paid by August 9th. Today is August 10th, and the USPS still isn’t showing that it was delivered!

I had used Certified Mail as a precaution so it says on the slip that my mail was postmarked on August 6th! I’m freaking out! What if someone stole the check?! What if the IRS lost the mail and didn’t sign the green card?!

Should I cancel the check and mail another one, explaining that I had mailed the original one on time but it was lost?

I’m so stressed right now…

Answer: USPS online tracking is pretty bad, so odds are it got there, just isn’t showing yet. If you asked for a delivery confirmation, that often takes a week or two to get back. Quit worrying. If you can’t just relax about it, call the IRS and ask if they got it, but even if they don’t have it showing in their records yet, they probably have it and it’s just sitting somewhere waiting to be entered into their system.

If it DID somehow get lost and they never turn it up, the worst thing that would happen is they’d send you another letter, and that would probably ask for $15.83 or something. Relax, it’s OK. Really.
