Got IRS Identity Verification Notice 6330C - What to expect? Tips?

Ugh, I got one of those last year. It's a pain but don't worry too much. They just want to make sure you are who you say you are. Have all your personal info ready when you call - SSN, past tax returns, etc. It took me about 30 minutes on the phone with them.

I found a way to get someone on the phone without waiting forever. 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.

Listen up, cause I'm bout to drop some knowledge 💯 I've been through this rodeo before, so here's the deal with the IRS Identity Verification Notice 6330C: • First off, don't panic. This is pretty common and doesn't mean you're in trouble. • You'll need to call the number on the notice. Be prepared to wait. • Have these docs ready: - The notice itself - Your Social Security card - Last year's tax return - This year's tax return (if you filed) - A credit card or other account number to verify your identity • They'll ask you a bunch of questions to verify your identity. Some might be tricky, like old addresses or employer info. • If you can't verify over the phone, you might need to schedule an in-person appointment. • Once verified, it can take up to 9 weeks for them to process your return. Pro tip: Call early in the morning or right before they close for shorter wait times. And for the love of all that is holy, BE PATIENT with the IRS folks. They're just doing their job. Good luck, OP! You got this 💪

Am I the only one who thinks its ridiculous that WE have to prove our identity to THEM? Like, yall sent this to my address that you clearly have on file 🙄

Quick question - does anyone know if this will delay my refund? I'm kinda counting on that money...

Pro tip: if u cant remember all ur old info, check ur credit report! It has a lot of the stuff they might ask about like old addresses and stuff

I swear the IRS just makes up these notices to make our lives miserable. Why can't they just leave us alone? 😤
