How do I verify my identity to file my taxes?

[KatrinaB48]

If you received a letter from the IRS requesting you to verify your identity then you can do so by calling them at the number provided in your letter. You can also call the IRS toll-free at 800-830-5084 for Identity Verification and have a copy of your prior-year tax return, current return, and supporting documents like W-2s, 1099s, and Schedule C.

To E- FILE your tax return----you verify your identity by entering your 2018 AGI

Where do I find my AGI?

Your 2018 tax return shows your 2018 Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) If you filed a joint return then the AGI is the same for each of you.

Form 1040        line 7

If you are using the same TT account that you used last year, you should also be able to find this number in your Tax Home for 2018

If entering the amount from your 2018 tax return does not work, then try entering “0” instead.  If that does not work and you still cannot e-file, then print, sign, and mail your tax return.

Note: If you filed late or amended your return, your correct 2018 AGI may not be in the system.

Note:  If you mail your federal return, you will also need to mail your state return.  You will not be able to e-file your state return.
