So if your are not a US taxpayer, presumably you are not targeted, but I know that there have been at least a dozen "Ian Green"'s on the Internet since at least 1998 and who knows how many others offline. Most of them are not US residents, but one may be. So how does simply the name have any effect on whether the IRS will be trying to look through your transaction records? ... Unless you have a REALLY unusual name. Surely there are almost no completely unique personal names out there nowadays. I imagine life must be very difficult for anyone who name happens to be Osama bin Laden, or Osama something else!
