My wife filed my taxes and lied on my returns, funnelled my $ to her account

She filed online for me and used the same account and routing numbers for both our returns. She stated (as me) that I donated 18,000$ to a charity in 2018. Please help  shes likely to recieve my next stimulus payment!

Was this done by a spouse you are still legally married to ---or an ex-spouse?  Have you consulted your attorney?  Do you have an attorney?

Most important) Follow the IRS procedures for reporting a fraudulent return, documented here: www.irs.gov/uac/Taxpayer-Guide-to-Identity-Theft

 

IRS INFORMATION REFERRAL TO REPORT VIOLATION OF TAX LAW

https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f3949a.pdf

 

 

If your Social Security number is compromised and you know or suspect you are a victim of tax-related identity theft, take these additional steps:

  • Respond immediately to any IRS notice; call the number provided.
  • Complete IRS Form 14039, Identity Theft Affidavit. Then print and mail or fax according to the instructions. 
  • Continue to pay your taxes and file your tax return, even if you must do so by paper.

Normally, when spouses file a joint tax return, they are equally liable for any misstatements or fraud.  This sounds like it goes back to the 2018 tax season?  When was the 2018 return filed?  You need to file a fraud report with the IRS that indicates your spouse signed your name to a joint return without your permission or agreement.  You may also need to file your own separate returns for the years in question (married filing separately) although that will be difficult since you can’t normally file a separate return after a joint return (that’s part of the fraud complaint).  

You should talk to your attorney about adding a tax specialist attorney to your legal team.
