I recently got something in the mail for a leila heald from the irs with my address on it. My name is Lacey heald, and the taxpayer id number was not my social security number either. two days later I got a letter certified mail, which I refused because this is not me. There is no one even by that name in my town. what should I do?

You should contact them. You are probably a victim of identity theft by an illegal and don't know it yet. If you've done everything the way you're supposed to, and have done nothing illegal, then you have nothing to worry about. Contact them and set things straight, or you'll end up in jail or losing things as a result of your inaction, even though you may be innocent until you get everything straightened out.
The last people you want to get on the bad side of on this planet, even by accident, is the IRS....

Sounds like somebody at the IRS was a boob. I would call or mail a copy of your driver's license and social security card to the IRS, proving who YOU are and point out that the tax ID number does not belong to you. They will probably be able to figure it out. Also, mail them a copy of your tax return.
