ID Verify letter from IRS

cameracoach — Wed, 18 Nov 2020 17:36:35 GMT

This information is in my Turbo Tax returns. Why did I get this letter? 5071C .. I thought it was a scam at first, then realized they actually want me to not only verify my ID but submit past Turbo Tax returns and access to all my personal information. I've submitted by returns for several years with you.

Help.

Sometimes identity verification requests are random; sometimes they happen for a reason. TurboTax does not get any information or feedback from the IRS after you file your tax return, so no one at TT knows about the request you received from the IRS.

If you need to access your past returns:

Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them. Log out of the account you are in now.

Or did you use the desktop version of TurboTax? If so, the files are on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.
