United States Senator Amy Klobuchar has helped a man solve his issues with the IRS, which declared him dead for twenty-nine years. The government now recognizes Adam Ronning as alive after the senator helped to reverse the false declaration. Nationally, the IRS declares 9,000 living Americans dead each year, which are represented in the government’s “Death Master File.” For Ronning, he has been declared dead since he was four years old, but as an adult, he has always paid his taxes and only received half or none of his return since 2009. Ronning claims that the government owes him an approximately $20,000 tax refund.
