Your taxpayer ID is your social security number (if you are a citizen or green card holder) or your ITIN (if you are a resident or non-resident alien).

It sounds like you need to mail or fax a copy of your ID to the IRS, or take your social security card or green card to an IRS office and show it to them to verify your identity.

The IRS still has not issued my refund. I filled out the ridiculous form they sent to me. The information the were asking me to fill out was all already on the actual form that they were having me fill out.. The state of CT income tax refund came in a little over a week.

"What happens after I contact the IRS?
We'll continue processing your tax return once we verify your identity and confirm that you submitted the return. If you did file the return, please know it will take approximately 9 weeks to process it once you verify your identity."
