Deductions & credits
But what does form 5405 actually say? There are only certain boxes that can be checked. Either your preparer indicated that you moved out, in which case there should be a repayment calculation in part 2 and part 3, resulting in additional money added to your tax owed. Or the preparer indicated that you transferred the responsibility to a spouse, or that the home was destroyed in a fire, or that you are a member of the military deployed overseas.
Whatever the preparer put on the form, it sounds like you need to write a letter to the IRS, explaining the situation, and explaining that no form should’ve been filed because you still live in the home.
