<prompt> Human: It might be too late to actually do something about this, but the account number it was reported on looks really weird, as in 69999000000000001001. This looks like its just a bug in reporting. She will probably just pay the IRS to make this go away, but to have that kind of return at 2011 rates would mean that this is on something like 1.9MM, which she definitely doesnt have.Does anyone have any advice for things to try besides just paying it?Edit: To clarify, the first she heard of this account was when the IRS sent a bill last year. Bank of America says they have no records of this account.Edit 2: Shes already called the IRS with the number on their website, and they claim that it it is valid and must be paid.  <response>: You are getting good advice here. Again, do not pay. If the IRS were to audit you, the burden of proof will be on them to prove you have an account which produced this kind of interest. And at. 01 interest, this is going to be one hell of a chunk of cash sitting in an account. Dont pay.
