I was divorced in April 2022 and did not update my tax withholdings with my new job. My ex-spouse filed married filing jointly a month before leaving, resulting in me owing $7,000 to the IRS. I live in WV, my primary source of income is through my employer, and I received his IRA, paying penalties and taxes on the cashed-in amount. What options do I have to address the tax debt?

I received a letter supposedly from the IRS notifying me that a company had filed a 1099-INT form for my SSN. I looked up the EIN and it seems to be a phone company, AVA C LLC, in Panama City Beach, FL. Is this a scam, and what should I do if I can't contact the company and the letter seems suspicious?

I received a $5,000 fellowship during my senior year in college from a non-profit, and they sent me a 1099-NEC form for 2022. I was never a subcontractor or employee, and the fellowship was more educational than work-related. Should they have sent a 1099-NEC, or is there another form that should have been used?

Where do I find the ID number for an employee who works for us in California but lives in North Carolina? The payroll company says we have to provide an ID number from North Carolina for this employee for payroll setup.

I received a 1099-S form for the sale of my home. The home was acquired in 1990 for $70,000 and sold for $250,000. Do I have capital gains that I need to declare?
