Answer 1

I would seriously think about getting an attorney to help you.

Answer 2

Get the taxpayer advocate involved.

Answer 3

What does IRS tell you to do?  That is the first step in clearing up the problem.

Answer 4

Call the taxpayer advocate's office at 877-777-4778 and ask for help.  They are the IRS department to cut through red tape when you've tried but aren't succeeding.

Good luck.
