What is the name of your state? texas
Just a little history... I used a preparer to file my taxes for 2003 & 2004. In 2005 I was audited for these years. The preparer put exemptions on my return that I did not authorize. Since I've been paying the IRS back. The IRS rejected my 2006 return because it had already been filed (by someone else). The IRS sent me a 2006 statement of my account where I found information provided by the mystery filer. I traced back to the tax service I used for 2003 & 2004. The preparer put his social on it. A refund from the mystery filer was applied to my back taxes. I had already communicated to the IRS that I did not file that return, mine was rejected. I'm concerned that when I tell the IRS that I now know who may have been involved that the IRS will back off the credit apply penalties and I will still have to pay all the money back. There are other people I worked with that used that service and are having issues too. What legal recourse do I have and how do I approach the IRS? Can anyone help me with my dilema.
