Wow! I've seen some things in my life, but folks its not right to joke about suicide and I'd guess that the reason scarface is posting here is out of 2 - Ds - depression and desperation. Let's play nice folks, we've all been in a place where we felt that way while it may not be taxes it could be a situation with a child, spouse, parent, or so on.
There is a saying "..everyone has done something screwed up enough to drop into a 30-second ad" which came from the political realm.

You say you signed for tax returns that you were not due to receive as in tax returns of others or claiming less income than you actually earned?
Either way, the best thing you can do take a deep breath and relax - and stop trying to escape. You sound very desperate, so one of the things you should do is talk to two types of professionals (1) a really good attorney who can help you resolve this and try to relax a bit
More than 450,000 federal employees and retirees owe a total of $3 billion in back taxes, according to Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) and Ranking Republican Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa).
Don't feel rotten - lots of people owe back taxes including probably some of the members of this forum, and many politicians. 450,000 federal employees and retirees and this is just those - not counting those who are employed, business owners, and the like. That's the problem with the income tax system - but I digress.
Now, before I mention number two professional to talk to, I also want you to realize that setting fire to the records could bring some major charges including, but not limited to: arson, destruction of property, tax evasion (the fire would really upset IRS), tampering with evidence, and if anyone was mistakenly injured or property was you would be charged with that, too.
That's the desperation and depression talking, and you have to quiet that voice or you will go insane, so you really need to seek the help of a qualified professional to speak with, but talk to the attorney first as what he tells you might alleviate the problem, but if not talk to a pastor, priest, counselor, psychologist, or someone, anyone.
By reading this post I am a bit concerned about your thinking and where you are going with this, but you need to talk to an attorney, and a professional to help your psyche - and in most cases you can work out a payment plan with the IRS - they really just want your money, the tax code is over nine-million words and counting, and when you call their office ten times with the same question you get ten totally different answers. You aren't the first one to have your stress load maxed out by them, and will not be the last.
Remember though, behind the letters IRS there are people, some good, bad, and indifferent that mostly hate their job, and afraid to tell people what they do for a living, so I always go out of my way to be kind to them, and have never had a problem with a government agency - they are just people.
I wish you the best of luck and I hope it works out for the very best - and please do seek professional guidance in this - and you will say "Thank You" later. I wish you well scarface.
