IRS Notices & Letters
“Why did I get a 5071C notice from the IRS about identity verification?”
A 5071C notice usually means the IRS wants to confirm that a tax return filed under your Social Security number or taxpayer information matches its records before processing continues. The situation often depends on details such as whether the return was filed electronically, whether there was a recent change in address or filing pattern, and whether the return included information that may have triggered a fraud review. It can also come up when identity theft is suspected or when the IRS needs more confidence that the return is legitimate. A CPA who reads your specifics can usually tell you, in plain English, where this lands.
