<prompt> Human: Posting for a friend.Her husband owed some taxes and they transferred money last year when filing their taxes. Total: 4307This year, after filing their taxes, their tax refund was very short. They then received notice that her husband had owed money from over a year ago and it had been deducted from their tax return in the amount of 4307. My friend has contacted the IRS and sent proof, e.g. their bank statement from last year showing that they paid 4307. The IRS responded that they never received any money last year so that was why they were charged this year. My friend has been going back and forth with them for months over this now and they keep being told We only received one payment from you, which was when we deducted it from your refund this year. She has shown me the bank statement too, showing that she made a payment of 4307 in April 2017.What are her options? Can she file a claim over this with her bank? If she can, is the bank likely to help or are they more likely to side with the IRS since theyre the IRS?  <response>: Get a tax attorney to help you. You need professional assistance.
