The false declaration initially was made when Ronning was four years old. As an adult, he has always paid his taxes, but either only got half of his return or none at all since 2009.

The IRS thinks he’s dead and he thinks that’s a problem?

And you are absolutely correct!!! What is that guy thinking? To be anonymous where the IRS is concerned would be wonderful.

He keeps giving the IRS a free loan and doesn’t get it all back. Double dumb.

And you know that they aren’t going to be paying him any late fines.

Heh. What I wondered, too, but it seems he wants his tax refunds of 20 years.

Yeah! My very first thought, too. If they think you're dead, they certainly can't expect you to pay income tax...or can they?
