Sounds like the company committed fraud. Contact the IRS by phone and explain the situation. You may need to provide them with access to your bank account but more than likely they will start an audit on your former employer. You should also contact your state labor department and file an employment fraud claim. More than likely the employer used you for PPP but didn’t file unemployment.

It’s seems basically impossible to contact the IRS by phone right now. I’ve called so many times and they say it’s too busy and end my call

I’ve called a few times and got connected after 15-20 mins. I never call at first open. I think I usually called around lunch time.

It also depends on departments. For general 1040, then yes, good luck. For this instance, it should be fairly quick as this probably isn’t happening to a lot of people.
