<prompt> Human: Hi everyone, like the title says I received ltr0012C a month after electronically filing via turbotax. Since I got married in 2017 this is the first year my wife and I are filing jointly. Neither of us are sure exactly what the letter is asking for. However, the leading theory I have is this: we know that someone filed a fraudulent tax return in my wifes name for her 2015 taxes. It seems as those this person may have received advanced payments, and now we are expected to reconcile the advance credit payments. It also looks as though it expects that one of us had coverage through the affordable care act, which neither of us have ever had.What do I do here? Im not even sure where to start. Thanks for your help.Quick edit: The IRS should be aware that the my wife had fraudulent taxes filed in her name, and now requires her to file with a PIN, which we did for her 2017 filing.  <response>: A similar situation happened to me when I received that form minus the identity theft, so I can tell you how I handled it.The first thing you should do is call the number for the IRS listed in the letter where it says you can ask questions. If theres a number listed with a direct extension number, its best to call that one. The IRS agent on the line was actually really helpful when I called earlier for this to figure things out. Just be truthful in what you say and explain that no one in your household received any advance payments of the premium tax credit. It will also help to have your 2017 tax return and W2s handy as they asked me a few questions about those to verify my identity.What they will probably have you do is to send a letter back to the address listed in the letter stating that no one in your household received the advance tax credits and therefore, you cant send form 1095-A or form 8962. Thats all you should need to do, but you can call the IRS too to double check. Seriously, calling the IRS was not nearly as scary as I thought it would be, they were actually pretty helpful
