How Do I Comply With Verification?
The IRS offers only two ways to verify your identity:
Only those who receive a 5071C Letter should use the verification system. The letters are sent to you via U.S. mail. They are never emailed, and the IRS does not initiate verification requests by phone.
The IRS prefers that taxpayers use the online system; because phone callers may experience delays due to the high volume of calls the IRS receives. The phone number on your letter can be used only for verification purposes, not for any other tax issues.
How Will I Be Asked to Verify My Identity?
The ID Verify website or phone system asks questions that only you can answer correctly. What you will need:
- Your previous year’s tax return
- Your current year’s tax return
- All supporting forms and schedules
