My 88 year old father received a 5071C. We have been unable to get through on the phone because they are too busy and hang up on us. We have been unable to verify his identity online. He is homebound and unable to go anywhere for an in person meeting to prove he wants to file his taxes. This has been a nightmare. The IRS is harassing an 88 year old veteran who has filed his taxes every year and now they want to verify his identity? We have called and called, uploaded documents online, scanned his face (which is creepy), it seems never ending and I have no more options to get him identified.
