IRS Identity Verification Letter Never Arrived - What Now?

Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with the IRS. They told me they sent a letter for identity verification, but I never received it. Has anyone else dealt with this? What should I do next?

Ugh, dealing with the IRS is such a pain. I had a similar issue last year. Have you tried calling them to request another letter? It might take forever to get through, but it's worth a shot.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've been trying to call, but the wait times are insane. Any tips on getting through?

Honestly, patience is key. Try calling early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Sometimes those hours are less busy. Good luck!

Pro tip: use a phone tree navigator app. It can help you skip through the menu options faster. Saved me tons of time!

I found a method to get someone on the phone. 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. Here's a video explaining it: https://youtu.be/bDXD2SD0gGk

Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this service? Is it legit?

I get the skepticism, but it honestly saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo. Give it a shot if you're really stuck!

Have you checked your mail forwarding settings with USPS? Sometimes important letters get lost in the shuffle if you've moved recently.

This happened to me last year. Here's what I did: 1. Checked my address on file with the IRS (you can do this online) 2. Called the IRS Identity Verification hotline (different from the main number) 3. Explained the situation and requested a new letter 4. They were able to verify my identity over the phone It took some time, but I got it sorted out. Don't give up!

Wow, thank you so much for the detailed steps! I'll definitely try this approach. Did you have to provide any specific documents during the call?

They asked for my SSN, date of birth, and some info from my last filed tax return. Make sure you have that handy when you call!

Preach! ๐Ÿ™Œ The whole system needs an overhaul. It's 2023, why can't we just do everything online?

Have you tried checking your IRS online account? Sometimes they post notices there even if you don't receive the physical letter. Worth a shot!

I'm in the same boat, OP. Been waiting for a letter for months now. Starting to think carrier pigeons would be more reliable than the IRS at this point ๐Ÿ˜‚

PSA: If anyone else is dealing with this issue, make sure you're not falling for any scams. The IRS will never ask for personal info via email or text. Always verify through official channels!
