ID.me verification letter - Will IRS send to new or old address?
Need help understanding where ID.me will send my verification letter. I moved this year and the address on my 2023 return is different from my 2022 return. Really dont want this letter going to my old address since I wont be able to get it.

The IRS will send the verification letter to the most recent address you provided on your tax return. If you've moved, make sure you've filed Form 8822 (Change of Address) with the IRS to ensure they have your current address on file. ID.me verification letters are time sensitive, so you want to make sure it goes to where you can actually receive it.

You can download it from IRS.gov or just google '8822 form pdf' 👍

Instead of waiting around for letters, you should check out taxr.ai - its an AI tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly whats going on with your verification status and when you can expect everything to clear. Costs $1 but saved me weeks of stress https://taxr.ai

Call the IRS verification department directly at 800-830-5084. Sometimes they can verify you over the phone instead of sending a letter
