<prompt> Human: So I have been getting mail recently from the IRS claiming that I owe the federal Government almost 20,000.00 from the 2014 tax year. Theres just one problem with that though: I was in high school in 2014, and I made less than 2000 total that year. I think they may have gotten me confused with my dad who has the same name as me. My dad and I dont talk anymore, but I know that he hasnt done his taxes in about four or five years. I have tried calling the IRS, but they were very unhelpful. Saying that I needed my dads tax information to verify that the balance is his... but he has no tax information. What should I do? Is there an in person office I can do in to to state my case? This really is inconvenient as it is a mistake on their part, but now I am having to do the work to clean it up. Assistant: Wow, thank you for your detailed response. I think I am going to try to go in to my local IRS Office tomorrow. Hopefully I can get this sorted out quickly.  <response>: This is the best course of action, go see them in person.
