In this situation, the taxpayer will receive Letter 5071C, which asks them to use an online tool to verify their identity and tell the IRS if they filed the return in question. A variation, Letter 4883C, asks the taxpayer to call the IRS to verify their identity and tell the IRS if they filed the return.
