You should contact the IRS. They might actually take the impersonation seriously.

On one hand, it's brilliant. Start a phishing attack in meatspace.

On the other hand, they might learn a HARD lesson about mail fraud, the postmaster general, and federal powers.

I get emails at least once a week telling me that some rich bastard sharing my last name has died in a foreign country, and that I was picked as the sole beneficiary. Yada Yada the person contacting me will take his cut to pay for the legal issues, and I will be entitled to xx,xxx,xxx dollars.

I just ignore them.

As president of *several* 501(c)(3) corporations, I can assure you that there is no such thing as a return under said designation, being as such denotes tax-exempt status.

Our 990EZ/990Ns are hassle enough without considering a return on zero.

If she used your credit card info she can be. The hard part would be to show how she would gain from using your identity and info. I would have her arrested on the grand larceny charge as she took a credit/debit card and used it. (if by chance that was the case) Sometimes better to leave the crazy ones alone and hope they go away. And I do know they are all crazy just some more than others.
