Received IRS Non-Filing Verification Letter with Tracking ID 107475719146 - Never Requested This Verification for My 1040 Return
Got my first verification letter ever today from the IRS and I'm confused. They sent me a letter dated February 15, 2025 with Tracking ID 107475719146 from their Memphis, TN office. The letter says "we received a request for verification of non-filing of a tax return" and that "we have no record of a processed tax return for the tax period listed above." This is for a 1040 Series return. Here's the full content of the letter: Internal Revenue Service United States Department of the Treasury MEMPHIS, TN 37501-1498 Tracking ID: 107475719146 Date of Issue: 02-15-2025 024 Return: 1040_SERIES Information About the Request We Received On February 15, 2025, we received a request for verification of non-filing of a tax return. As of the date of this letter, ve have DO record of a processed tax return for the tax period listed above. If you have any questions, you can call 800-829-1040. Is this confirmation that they sent out my verification letter? I'm really confused because I didn't request any verification of non-filing. Does this mean someone else requested verification about my tax filing status? Or is this just confirming that I haven't filed my taxes yet for this year? I need help understanding what this verification letter actually means. They included the number 800-829-1040 to call with questions, but I wanted to check here first to understand what this verification letter actually means before I spend hours trying to get through to the IRS. Has anyone else received something like this from the Memphis, TN IRS office? What should my next steps be?

This letter serves as an official IRS Verification of Non-Filing Letter, which confirms that as of February 16, 2025, the IRS has no record of a processed 1040 series tax return for you. The tracking ID 107475719146 is your unique reference number if you need to follow up. The letter is coming from the IRS office in Memphis, Tennessee, which is one of their main processing centers. When it states "we received a request for verification," this means either you or an authorized third party (like a school financial aid office) requested confirmation of your non-filing status. This document is particularly important if you need to: - Apply for financial aid (FAFSA) - Verify income for social services - Prove you weren't required to file taxes for this period - Document your tax status for legal or financial purposes The 1040 series reference means this applies to personal income tax returns. The provided phone number (800-829-1040) is the IRS's main individual tax line if you need clarification. Keep this letter safe - it's your official proof from the IRS that you had no filing requirement or filed return for this period.

Just wanted to mention there's this new tool called taxr.ai that can help understand these IRS documents better. It costs $1 but it analyzes your whole transcript and tells you exactly what everything means. Way better than trying to decode these confusing letters ourselves tbh https://taxr.ai

Just want to add - if you're worried about identity theft or someone requesting this without your permission, you can always call that 800-829-1040 number to verify. They can tell you who made the request and when. Better safe than sorry, especially with all the tax scams going around these days. But sounds like you needed it for FAFSA anyway so you're all set! 👍

•This is really good advice! I didn't even think about the identity theft angle. Definitely gonna call that number just to double check who requested it, even though I'm pretty sure it was for my FAFSA. Thanks for looking out! 🙏

Hey Andre! Just to add some context - that Memphis TN office is legit, it's one of the IRS's major processing centers. The timing makes sense if you or someone (like your school's financial aid office) requested this for FAFSA purposes around mid-February. One thing to note: this letter is specifically saying they have NO record of a processed return for the tax period, which is exactly what you'd want for financial aid verification if you weren't required to file or haven't filed yet. If you're still unsure who requested it, definitely call that 800 number - they can tell you the source of the request. But honestly, sounds like everything is in order for your FAFSA needs! Just keep that tracking ID handy in case you need to reference this letter later.
