I just got my interview notice. Heard lots of people been stuck on name check, I had a question.

I have an English name, which is easy pronounce for my husband and work friends. So some of our unofficial letter and almost all of greeting cards are under my husband name and my English name.

We don't have any joint bank account, no any joint utilities account.

My real name is appeared on all official letter, cell phone bill and paycheck.
My bank account has been adding my English name as remark, it shows as AAA "BBB" Last name.

For gathering more evidence, I want to bring all the letters with me, but will the English name caused name check?
Should I avoid mention the English name, or just go ahead let IRS know it?

I would be completely honest with them and explain why you have an "English" name, as well as your real name.
I really don't think you have anything to be worried about. Just take as much evidence as possible - in both names.

There is a column for Alias or any other name you have been ever know as. You can use this column to disclose your "English" name. On all First Name, use your legal name.
