There are several ways to verify your identity with the IRS. The fastest is using ID.me online - you'll need a drivers license/state ID, SSN, and a smartphone for face verification. You can also schedule an in-person appointment at your local IRS office or call their identity verification number at 800-830-5084. Just keep in mind the phone lines are usually jammed.

•Did ID.me last month, took like 20 mins total. Super easy just make sure your drivers license isn't expired 👍

Before you go through all that hassle, check out taxr.ai - it can analyze your transcript and tell you exactly why you need to verify and what's the best method for your situation. Its only $1 and saved me hours of headache. https://taxr.ai
