<prompt> Human: Basically, she owes them money for some reason, I really dont understand the circumstances since she wont tell me. She claims theyll track me down and take the money out of my paychecks since she had me on her food stamps paperwork as a dependent or something, so Im better off making payments through her. I havent lived with her in years, and I have zero desire to get involved with her again, since she causes nothing but problems.I plan on talking to the IRS personally soon, but I really have no idea what to do, or how much of what shes said is lies or real. If someone has some insight that could help Id be grateful. Also, Im worried Ill need a lawyer, another expense Im not sure I can afford.  <response>: Well your aunt is most likely a liar. Lets play this out. A. You are actually responsible to make payments to the IRS. They will send you a letter and arrange paymentB. You arent responsible. Your aunt is a liar and you pay her money you dont have to. So I would tell her to take a hike unless she can prove something.
