Because we left on bad terms, my former employer won’t respond to my request to obtain a much needed document for an IRS Audit. What should I do?

Hello there,

I am currently being audited by the IRS and I need a letter from my former
employer regarding their reimbursement policy for work from home expenses. I
have sent emails and called a couple of times but have not received any
response.

We did leave on bad terms in that they were not happy I went to work with a
competitor. I remember they did not respond to any reference calls from my then
new employer as well. Luckily, they were ok with me showing recent pay stubs.
Please advise on how I can obtain a letter from my employer stating I was not
reimbursed for any work from home expenses.

Thank you very much
FK.
