File a fraud/forgery complaint with the IRS and the US State's Attorney. You can also file theft charges with your local sheriff/police, since the victim of the crime was in their jurisdiction when the crime was committed. You should also file a forgery claim with the bank where she cashed the checks.

Call the taxpayer advocate service 877-777-4778 about whether it's too late for him to get his money.
