Everyone in the family received US tax return forms for 2006 and 2007 except my daughter who is now age 19. All of us live at the same addess in a foreign country.
I suspect identity theft. How can I ensure that that the IRS has her correct address and that 2008 tax forms will be sent to her and not to someone else who may be using her name and SS number?

    If she efiled for 2006 and the rest of you filed on paper, that would explain why you got booklets with tax forms and she didn’t. Or they could have just gotten lost along the way somewhere. ID theft is possible but unlikely.
    The IRS won’t and can’t talk to you about your daughter’s info, she’ll have to contact them herself. She could just send in a form 8822, and if they have some other address for her, that will change it.
    The IRS has an 800 number if you are calling from the US, but from a foreign country that’s not available.

    Your daughter must be the one to contact IRS and verify that her information is correct. YOU can’t call for her.

    Has she filed previous returns? That’s where the IRS would get her address. If she files a 2007 return, that will update her address.
