Has anyone had issues with the online verification system? I tried like 5 times and it kept saying my info didn't match 😤
Same here! I ended up having to call. Turns out there was a typo in my address on file. Maybe double check all your info?
Ugh, what a pain. I'll give them a call and see whats up. Thanks for the tip!
Just went thru this last week. Took about an hour on the phone but got it all sorted. Hang in there OP, its annoying but not too bad once you get someone on the line.
That's reassuring to hear. Did they ask for any specific documents during the call?
They just asked me questions based on my past tax returns and some other personal info. Make sure you have your returns handy when you call!

Has anyone tried faxing in an address change form? I heard that might be faster than calling or going in person.
Faxing? What year is it, 1995? 😂
lol I know it sounds old school, but I've heard it can actually be pretty effective for some gov agencies 🤷♀️
IRS Identity Verification Nightmare - Need Help Preparing for Call
Hey everyone, I'm having some trouble with IRS identity verification. Has anyone gone through this process before? I'm not sure what documents I need to provide or how to prepare for the call with the IRS agent. Any advice would be really appreciated!

Has anyone tried using one of those identity protection services? wondering if it might help streamline the process...
I use LifeLock. It's okay for general identity protection, but didn't really help with IRS stuff specifically.
Those services are a waste of money imo. Just freeze your credit for free and keep an eye on your accounts yourself.

OP, whatever you do, DON'T IGNORE THE LETTER! I made that mistake and ended up with a much bigger headache. Deal with it asap, even if it's annoying.

Has anyone successfully done this verification online? The letter mentions an online option but when I tried, it said I wasn't eligible. Wondering if its just me or if the online thing is a myth lol

I tried too and got the same message. Pretty sure the online option is about as real as my chances of winning the lottery 😂

It worked for me! But I think it depends on what info they already have on file for you. If anything seems off, they make you call in.
