I’m trying to set up an appointment so I can verify my identity.

A) To set up an appointment to verify your identity at the tax office, you can do the following:

1. Call the IRS toll-free number at 1-844-545-5640. The IRS will be able to schedule an appointment for you at a local IRS office.
2. Visit the IRS website and use the “Find an IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center” tool. This tool will allow you to find the nearest IRS office that offers identity verification services. You can then call the office to schedule an appointment.
3. Visit your local IRS office in person. You can walk in to your local IRS office and ask to speak with a representative about scheduling an appointment to verify your identity.

When you schedule your appointment, be sure to bring the following items with you:

• A valid government-issued photo ID.
• A taxpayer identification number, such as a Social Security number.
• Any other documents that the IRS may request.

You should also be prepared to answer questions about your identity and your tax history.

The IRS takes identity theft very seriously. If you have been a victim of identity theft, you should contact the IRS immediately. You can do this by calling the IRS toll-free number at 1-800-829-1040.

The IRS will be able to help you protect your identity and your tax information.
