After you file
No, the IRS offers only two ways to verify your identity:
- Online at the IRS Identity Verification Service website
- By phone at the toll-free number listed on your 5071C Letter
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.
