Lets try this test and see what happens...

The Situation

A relative has received a W2 statement in the mail accusing him of receiving about 100,000 bux of "salary", an item of gross income. His personal bank records indicate deposits in exactly these amounts on the same dates.

He says that the characterization is false, he paid for that money with equal value.

And anyway, he borrowed the money against his collateral deposit.

And besides, he was owed the money as a pre-paid credit for damages.

Further, he had a mutual assurance policy to cover his investments that paid up.

At any rate, he lent his value and was paid back with that money.



Take your pick.

What could he do to properly challenge this libelous w2 claim?
