Earlier in 2021, I got a letter from the IRS saying they thought I was either guilty of, or the victim of Identity Theft. They requested that I prove who I was by making an appointment with them or with the local IRS office. Not trusting that this wasn’t a scam, I did nothing. However, I am writing to you to make an appointment to provide this proof, just in case! Can you set up an appointment time where I can present documents proving my identity? And is there anything else I must provide?

A) To schedule an appointment to verify your identity with the IRS, you can call 844-545-5640. You will need to provide your Social Security number and other personal information. The IRS will then schedule an appointment for you at the nearest Taxpayer Assistance Center.

When you go to your appointment, you will need to bring the following documents:

• A valid government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license or passport
• A copy of your most recent tax return
• Any other documents that can support your identity, such as a Social Security card, birth certificate, or utility bill

If you have any questions about the appointment process or the required documentation, you can call the IRS at the number above.

Here are some additional tips:

• Be on time for your appointment.
• Bring all of the required documentation.
• Be prepared to answer questions about your identity and your tax situation.
• Be polite and respectful to the IRS employee.

I hope this information is helpful
