Question My ex-husband has acquired my tax returns through his girlfriend. He showed me the form and I saw the envelope it came in with my name and his address. Also while he was collecting disability for bad knees he was cleaning heaters and not reporting the income. He only went back to work a year ago. Before this he bought land in New York and bought another car. My kids live with him they have showed me proof, but they are afraid of him. How can I report him? I was unsuccessful with IRS directly. I need to be able to show proof of my address being changed to his. Or am I wasting my time trying to fight him? How can he have so much yet work so little? I have contacted the DEA, but too late.
Answer The IRS can and will help you. You need to follow the following directions. You may also wish to turn him into your state dept of revenue, those wheels go quicker sometimes.
