Got notice from IRS stating I didnt claim 52K and now I owe 16k in back taxes for 2007 Was unemployeed during most of 07 -- did not qualify for unemployment, claimed what work I did do (had orders w/the Navy and also had a job, that didn't work out for a few months) . The only thing I can think of, is was finalizing a divorce at the time and my x had 5 IRA's that were supposed to be for the children. Only recently did I discover that there were 2 for the children, 1 for me (it had $200.00 in it) one for her, and one joint. I always let her do finances, and trusted her. It's looking as if she may have cashed one out in my name or join name, and kept the $$.. If this is what happened (I am researching) what would I have to do? Divorce originated in NJ- live in PA now
