    Old Bank Account
    My boyfriend is being audited by IRS. He needs to locate an old bank account that he had when married. Wife has moved out of state and he does not know how to locate her to find out name of bank in year2000. Is there a way to find out information maybe with your social security number.

    That is the issue he does not know what bank they dealt with as she handled all the finances.

    He will need to look though all his papers and try to find some info on it.

    Or try and find his ex and ask her. There is no way that I know of to find your old bank account without at least knowing something about where your bank was.

    What town was it in, he had to go to the bank at some time.

    That is a bit of a problem.

    Isn't there anyone that he knows that still might have contact with her? If not, my suggestion would be, since it is the oldest of the statements, be nice to the auditor (you should always do that anyway -- they are just doing their jobs and it is nothing personal) and explain what happened. Ask the auditor if he/she has any ideas how to go about getting the information he needs? He might do one of a few things:
    Give you some guidance; or, tell you that he will adjust the audit just to include 2001 and up; or, will hit you with penalties. I have found that if I am nice to them they are usually pretty nice and helpful. He may give your boyfriend more time to try to locate his ex. He also may have access to a database that he can do a search on and find out which bank your boyfriend and his ex had their account at.

    Sorry I can't be of more help but I hope this helps a bit.

    Sorry, didn't see Father Chuck on here when I answered. My thoughts exactly about the town he lived in but maybe because the relationship was disastrous, he just can't remember anything. Sometimes we do have a tendency to block those "bad moments" in our history. :)

    Does he still have his copy of his return? In his own file there might be a check for something used as a deduction.

    Why would he need the old account unless he needed to prove interest income? In which case he should have a copy.

    Why would your boyfriend have changed banks?

    The ex-wife's Social Security Number should be on the joint return. Contact the local Social Security office to get the last known address for that SSN. AND the IRS should have her current address from her 2005 income tax return. So ask the agent. Do one of those "people finder" internet things. Ask her parents.

    Do you think the information might be on his credit report?
