IRS Says No Record of My 2024 Return After Someone Requested Verification of Non-Filing - What Does This Mean?

Just got this verification letter from the IRS saying they have no record of my processed 1040_SERIES tax return as of February 12, 2025. The letter states "we received a request for verification of non-filing of a tax return" and "As of the date of this letter, we have no record of a processed tax return for the tax period listed above." Here's the exact text from the letter: Return: 1040_SERIES Information About the Request We Received On February 12, 2025, we received a request for verification of non-filing of a tax return. As of the date of this letter, we have no record of a processed tax return for the tax period listed above. If you have any questions, you can call 800-829-1040. What's really concerning me is that I definitely filed my 1040_SERIES return before the deadline. I have confirmation that it was submitted and accepted. So why would the IRS be saying they have no record of my processed return? And who requested this verification of non-filing? I didn't request this information. Has anyone received something similar? Does this mean my tax return was lost? Or is there some entity requesting verification about my filing status that I don't know about? The letter only provides the general IRS number (800-829-1040) for questions, but has anyone dealt with this specific situation before? I'm worried about potential identity theft or some issue with my filing that could cause problems down the road.

This Verification of Non-filing Letter clearly shows the IRS has no record of receiving your 1040 series tax return as of February 12, 2025. The specific mention of "1040_SERIES" indicates this is about your individual income tax return, which could be Form 1040, 1040-A, or 1040-EZ. There are three key pieces of information to note: 1. Someone requested verification of your non-filing status on February 12, 2025 2. The IRS has no record of processing your return as of that date 3. This specifically relates to your individual tax return (1040 series) This situation typically occurs in one of these scenarios: - You haven't filed your return yet - Your return was filed recently but hasn't been processed in the system - Your return was rejected during processing but notification failed - Someone else (like a lender or government agency) requested verification of your filing status Your immediate steps should be to: 1. Verify if and when you filed your return 2. If filed electronically, check your submission confirmation 3. If filed by mail, locate your certified mail receipt if available 4. Contact the IRS at the provided number (800-829-1040) if you believe there's an error
