BROOMFIELD, Colo. — A Broomfield man who has been fighting the Internal Revenue Service for almost a year after mistakenly being declared dead is now officially alive . Two months ago, Phil Anderson told Denver7 Investigates that the IRS mistakenly marked him as 'deceased.' He had been trying to get that changed for almost a year. 'Last time I checked, and in the immortal words of Monty Python, 'I'm not dead yet,'' said Anderson back in August.
When this issue comes up, though, it can affect everything from tax refunds to Medicare. U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen's office became involved, and two months later, Anderson finally had an answer.'I'm not dead anymore. I've got a new handle on life,' he said with a smile.A spokesperson for Pettersen said they worked with the IRS and 'successfully removed the erroneous 'deceased' marker.
