I was wondering what law enforcement agency would handle a case of forgery.<strong>Scenario:</strong> The Government refund check ($600) sent out earlier this year was sent to the ex-wife (the couple is divorced) she forged his signature and deposited the money into her account. He has asked her numerous times for his $300 (half of the check) we need to know the recourse to follow to press charges against her. In addition she somehow managed to sign off his name of a trailer that was only in his name (the title).

Received an IRS Levy with an existing customer's name and an EIN. The accounts we have are Joe Blow Family Trust with a different EIN than the one on the levy. The other two accounts are styled, Joe Blow Special Account and Joe Blow both with the SSN of Joe Blow. We called the IRS and they tell us that because it has the right name on it, that is all that matters. This is 941 payroll tax for years of 98-99-00 so I don't think that would be correct. Looks like Joe Blow may have had a business at some point under the tax ID number on the levy, but we have nothing under it. Does the IRS have a legitimate claim to the funds in his personal accounts and the family trust account? I would say no, but then I could be very wrong.
