    Forged IRS check
    My ex-spouse and ex-mother-in-law forged my name on an IRS refund check. I have submitted a form to a IRS location in CA but still not heard a word. I am afraid they are not going to do anything after looking at information on the internet and seeing at least one other person that still has to hear of any results or processing of a similar situation. Does anyone know how this process works or who to contact for such reporting?

    Thanks

    I don't know how the process works, but you may want to file a police report. (Just in case you have to sue them for the money back.) Also speak with a tax attorney. They should know how to handle this situation, and they usually give legal advice for free. Another thing you may want to do is go to the UCLA, USC, Berkeley, etc website. Email your question to a legal professor, they may have some sound advice. Hope this helps.

    Yes you most certainly need to file a police report, and forward a copy of this report also to the IRS.

    And you can also sue them ( if you know they did it and can prove they did it) in civil court for your money back.
