Write a letter to a tax authority or employer about income reported under my identity that is not mine. Details I will supply: agency or employer [AGENCY_OR_EMPLOYER], tax year [TAX_YEAR], what the notice says [NOTICE_WORDING], what I actually earned and from whom [MY_INCOME_SOURCES], reports I have made [REPORTS_MADE], documents I can provide [DOCUMENTS_HELD]. The letter should state the mismatch, say I did not work for the named employer, ask for the record to be reviewed and corrected, and ask what proof and which form they need. What to collect first: The notice, my own income records, a copy of my identity theft report, and ID documents for secure submission. Realistic outcomes to ask for: A corrected record, written confirmation, a protection step on my file, and a contact. They will often answer: Agencies may ask for a specific affidavit; reply by asking for the form and where to send it [VERIFY]. Start by making a dated timeline for the tax identity theft: employer or agency mismatch letter (date, what happened, proof), mark undocumented dates, and then keep every date in the letter consistent with it. Return the letter with a 50-word cover note, and next the steps to take for silence or refusal (contact the identity protection unit, then follow up, then seek advice from a tax professional), then a proof checklist (notice, income records, report copy, ID). Send the letter by a tracked route with a return receipt, and store the receipt and a scan of the letter. Invent no statute or deadline; work from [JURISDICTION] and [RELEVANT_LAW_OR_POLICY_IF_KNOWN] only as I give them, and remind me to check the law with a qualified adviser. Write this in the first person as a layperson, without posing as counsel. Write it direct, fair and respectful, threatening nothing beyond lawful steps, use only the date in [DEADLINE], and be honest about limits. None of this is legal advice.
