Someone stole my identity in 2009 and has been filing taxes as me and receiving the returns every year since. I've talked with the police, made a report, contacted the IRS, filled out an affidavit, and contacted all three credit report agencies, putting a freeze on my social. Despite this, someone has still been successful. Can I sue the IRS for not doing anything about this? The only thing they did was make a note and send me 100 books to stop identity theft.

I have a Foreign Limited Liability Partnership (FLLP) whose partners are all foreigners. They plan to sell Canadian property and use the proceeds to buy residential rental real estate in the U.S. for around $1.2 million, contributing that to their WA State FLLP. Are there any thresholds, other than the TD 90 stuff, that would subject them to any special filings or reporting?

Do we have to file state income tax in Indiana for my mother-in-law who is on Medicaid, in a nursing home with dementia in Indiana? She receives two small pensions, but Medicaid directs the expenditure of all her funds, leaving her a $52 per month allowance per Indiana Medicaid guidelines. My wife has her power of attorney. If the answer is 'yes', where do we get the money?

Our incorporated homeowners association has not filed taxes for 11 years. We last filed an 1120-H in 2002. If we need to file back tax returns, would we have to file form 1120 instead of 1120-H? Could some of the member dues be considered capital contributions to the corporation rather than income? What is likely to happen if we file an 1120-H this year, and is the IRS likely to ask for the previous 11 years of returns?
