Got 4883C notice from IRS - What to expect? Help!

Ugh, I got one of those last year. It's basically the IRS asking you to verify your identity. Don't panic, it's not as bad as it sounds!

I found a method to get someone on the phone fast. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/bDXD2SD0gGk

Here's what you need to know about the 4883C notice: • It's part of the IRS's identity verification process • You have 30 days to respond • You'll need last year's tax return, this year's (if filed), and the letter itself • You can verify online at idverify.irs.gov or by phone • If verifying by phone, be prepared for long wait times • Once verified, your return will be processed in about 9 weeks Don't ignore it! If you don't respond, your return won't be processed and you could miss out on refunds or credits.

am i the only 1 who thinks its weird the irs sends letters asking for personal info? like how do we know its not a scam?

Pro tip: if you have to call, do it right when they open. I got through in like 20 mins last week!

ugh why does the gov make everything so complicated?? 🤦‍♀️ like we dont have enough to deal with already

Anyone else feel like theyre playing tax refund roulette every year? Never know if youll hit the identity verification jackpot 🎰😅
