According to the IRS, if you need to verify your identity, you will receive a 4883C letter. To verify your identity, you need to call the IRS Identity Verification number on your letter.
You will need to have the following available when you call:
The 4883C letter
The income tax return referenced in the letter (Form 1040, 1040A, 1040-EZ, 1040-PR, 1040-NR, 1040-SR, etc.). Note: A Form W-2 or Form 1099 is not a tax return.
A previous year’s income tax return, other than the year in the letter (Form 1040, 1040A, 1040-EZ, 1040-PR, 1040-NR, 1040-SR, etc.). Note: A Form W-2 or Form 1099 is not a tax return.
Supporting documents that you filed with each year’s income tax return (Form W-2 or Form 1099, Schedules C or F, etc.).If we can’t verify your identity over the phone, they may ask you to schedule an appointment at your local IRS office to verify in person.
