IRS Notices & Letters
“I got a 5071C identity notice from the IRS, what does it mean and what do I do?”
A 5071C notice usually means the IRS wants to verify your identity before processing a tax return, often because something on the filing triggered a fraud check. The practical response depends on whether the return was actually filed, whether the information on the notice matches your records, and whether you still have access to the online or phone verification options listed on the letter. In some cases, the timing of the notice, recent address changes, or prior identity theft concerns can also affect how the matter is handled. A short conversation with a CPA can sort out what applies to your specific numbers.
In your 30-minute session, the KGOB advisor handling it will:
- Read your exact situation and tell you, in plain English, what’s actually going on.
- Lay out your options and the trade-offs — no jargon, no judgment.
- Give you a clear next step you can act on, whether that’s with us or on your own.
