I’m trying to get my tax return for the year of 2021 and 2022 but it says I have to verify my identity so I need to make an appointment

A) Here are the steps on how to make an appointment to verify your identity with the IRS:

1. Go to the IRS website: https://www.irs.gov/identity-theft-fraud-scams/identity-and-tax-return-verification-service and click on the “Make an Appointment” button.
2. Enter your Social Security number or taxpayer identification number and your date of birth.
3. Select the year(s) for which you need to verify your identity.
4. Select the method you want to use to verify your identity. You can choose to do it online through ID.me, by phone, or in person at an IRS office.
5. Select a time and date for your appointment.
6. Review your appointment details and click on the “Submit” button.

Once you have made an appointment, you will receive a confirmation email with the details of your appointment. Please bring the following documents with you to your appointment:

• A government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, passport, or state ID card.
• A copy of your most recent tax return.
• Any other documents that can help verify your identity, such as a utility bill or bank statement.

Your appointment will take about 15 minutes. The IRS will ask you questions about your identity and your tax return. You will also need to provide a copy of your government-issued photo ID.

Once you have verified your identity, you will be able to access your tax return information. You can also use your verified identity to access other IRS online services, such as the Where’s My Refund tool.

Here are some tips for making your appointment go smoothly:

• Be sure to arrive at your appointment on time.
• Bring all of the required documents with you.
• Be prepared to answer questions about your identity and your tax return.
• Be patient and polite.
