IRS Notices & Letters
“What is a 5071C identity verification letter from the IRS and what should I do?”
A 5071C letter is an IRS identity verification notice that often appears when a return is flagged for possible identity theft or when the IRS needs to confirm that a filing really belongs to the taxpayer. The practical response usually depends on details such as whether the return was filed recently, whether the taxpayer recognizes the income and withholding on the return, and whether the notice was expected or seems suspicious. The letter itself also matters, since it can include a verification process and contact information tied to the filing. Going through your records with a CPA usually surfaces the answer in under an hour.
