I’m being told to file business taxes first for a company I had nothing to do with. What do I do?

Told by whom and told how?

If you're being told to file taxes for a company you had no involvement with, here are some steps you can take.

Verify the Request: Check if the notice is legitimate by looking for an IRS or state notice. You can verify IRS notices on their website

Dispute the Request: Contact the IRS Business Tax line to dispute the request.  Explain the situation and confirm that your name, SSN, and EIN are not associated with the company.

Do Not File Incorrect Returns: Avoid filing any incorrect tax returns. Ensure that your personal information is not mistakenly linked to the company.

For more details, you can refer to the IRS guidelines on How to Know It's the IRS and Telephone Assistance Contacts for Business Customers.

Reach back out if and let us know who is asking you to file the return for additional assistance.
