So a few months ago, I filed my 2018 tax return. I did this at the deadline. I also claimed the electric vehicle tax credit at this time. I did this through TurboTax. My expected return was somewhere around $8000.
Fast forward a few weeks, and I got a notice from the IRS that I needed to file a 2014 tax return before I would be able to get my refund. In hindsight, I think they did this because another company claimed that they payed me income for that year. I responded to this notice with a certified letter, stating that I did not need to file a return for 2014 because I was a dependent and had no income for that year (I was a student that year).
Fast forward to today, I received a notice from the IRS stating that I need to file a tax return by July 25th, or else have additional fees (this is also when I saw that I had somewhere around $1250 in fees due already, due to failure-to-file, failure-to-pay and interest). It also said that I never responded to the first notice, even though I did. Part of this notice was listing who said that they paid me income. A company based in Dallas (I live in Oklahoma) claimed that they paid me exactly $25,000 that year. I have never heard of this company until today. That company is described as a broker-dealer, whatever that means. The tax on that plus fees amounts to about $3000.
I tried to call the IRS but it is past their calling hours.
I tried to call the broker/dealer but had the same issue.
So, I am looking for suggestions on what I should do at this point. I am not sure if I need to fill out any identity theft documents, because I am not sure if that is what happened. It's not like somebody filed my return, the company just claimed I was paid by them. This is a public company.
Thank you in advance for any advice!
