Economic stimulus rebate checks notwithstanding, dealing with the Internal Revenue Service is rarely a pleasant experience.
Especially if they’re going after you for back taxes on income you never earned.
According to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office, a Bonita Springs man on Tuesday received a letter from the IRS telling him he owed nearly $5,000 from working at a grocery store in Virginia in 2006. Problem is, the man never worked at a grocery store in Virginia.
Apparently, however, his Social Security number was attached to the 1040 associated with the job.
The IRS is investigating the matter as possible identity theft.
