    Default Forgery and the IRS

    I live in Illinois and have a friend whose cousin out of spite, sent the IRS a letter using my friend's social security number and other personal identification to falsely accuse him of owing $20,000 in unpaid taxes to the IRS. The IRS sent my friend a letter telling him that he had to pay the $20,000, even after my friend denied he sent the letter and sent information to the IRS with his cousin's hand writing to show that the hand writing was indeed his cousin's. I thought the IRS would investigate such a claim more thoroughly. Does this seem plausible, that anyone can write a letter out of spite to the IRS and say you owe money you do not? What should or can he do now?

    Someone told you a big lie and you believed it for some unknown reason.

    I suggest you find yourself some sober friends.

    Especially if the story ended with something along the lines of "can you lend me the money to pay back the IRS?"

    If this is for real, then your friend needs the assistance of a tax attorney.
