  • If you filed your income taxes close to the April 18 deadline, you may still be waiting on your tax return. But would the IRS ask for your personal information? One man wrote into VERIFY asking if it was legit that the IRS would send him a letter in the mail asking him to create an account at ID.com and submit photos of his driver's license.
    In this video, VERIFY reporter Meghan Bragg speaks with tax experts about this process and explains why it is a legitimate request from the IRS for those who filed income taxes and are still waiting on their federal income tax return.
    There are reasons why the IRS may ask you to confirm your identify. If you show up on any identity theft registry, for instance. Until the IRS is able to confirm your identity, it will not be able to process your tax return. #VERIFY #WakeUpCLT #Taxes
    And it could take up to nine weeks to get your tax return after verifying your identity with the IRS.

    I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.

    I got one of these letters a few days ago and am following the instructions as I type this, and it wants me to do a selfie video! What the heck? I'm not sure I will do it because it just doesn't seem legit.

    • @darlene5216
      @darlene5216 3 місяці тому

      Selfie video? That sounds suspect. Call the IRS and let them know you got one of those letters and let em know the letter asked you to do a selfie video and ask if they are the ones who sent the letter. If they say no they didn't, then the letter is a scam.

      @@darlene5216 Thank you. Ok so I called the IRS and they were ZERO help. The IRS rep on the phone was rude and impatient and just told to to call the number on the form and they will tell me it's not a scam. Well, if it is a scam, then I would just be calling the scammers to verify they are legit - duh! So I don't know about all this, it's all very weird. But thank you for the reply.
