I am going to assume you mean "Why is the IRS asking for proof of home improvements?" You must have claimed a deduction for home improvements on a prior tax return. The IRS is asking for verification of the amount of deduction you claimed.

I have gotten a notice from the IRS asking me to file a 2006 tax return I was displaced from my home by a flood and the notice, which now threatens penalties, is past due. what action(s) do you suggest?

Hire a reputable tax lawyer or tax accountant who can work on your behalf without divulging your identity to the IRS. They can meet with IRS representatives and plead your case, determine the course of action that is in your best interest (possibly reducing or avoiding penalties), negotiate a settlement, and the IRS will not know that they are dealing with you. Then your tax consultant can file the negotiated return on your behalf.
