W2 Identity Theft

[kpangelinan]

Client had received information from the IRS on income earned but not reported on their tax return. The income earned was from a company who issued a W2 in the clients name, but the client never worked there. Apparently somebody worked for that company and put in my clients social security number on her W4's instead of their own. How does this get correct with the IRS? Send in an amendment with attachments stating that they are not hers? Does the client need to do anything with the company themselves?

Thanks,

Form 14039 sounds appropriate for this.

David1980, thanks a bunch. You're right. I didn't even know this form existed. That's why I love this board!!!
