RE: Internal Revenue Service (IRS) - need answers from IRS about IRS check deposted by estranged wife

In August 2001 my estranged wife forged my signature on a US Treasury for $600.00 (Joint IRS tax rebate) After forging my Signature on the check, my estranged wife deposited the check into her personal account at Navy Federal Credit Union. I reported the check forgery to Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

The investigation was turned over to the Financial Management Service in Hyattsville, MD. After numerous requests, the IRS has refused to release any information about the check forgery. They refuse to even tell be if the investigation has been completed, or what action, if any, was taken. I want the IRS to release the results of the check forgery investigation and answer the following questions: Was or was not the signature for Brian L. Carlson determined to be a forgery?

What action, if any, was taken against the person who forged and deposited the check at Navy Federal Credit Union?

If no action was taken, why did the IRS let a felony, the forgery of a US Treasury check go unreported?
