How to verify your identity with the IRS to receive your tax return
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 тра 2023
- 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.
@Adelinde-Isabell That's actually quite impressive, I could use some Info on your FA, I am looking to make a change on my finances this year as well
@Adelinde-Isabell I will give this a look, thanks a bunch for sharing.
How come you don't have to verify my ID to take my money out of my check every week And I guarantee you it won't take 9 weeks for them to start taking money
Exactly mine supposed to be here mar9th imma bout to be homeless I already pay 1466 junk landlord I've done everything 😢😢😢
@@No_ReGretzky99I 😂😂😂😂😂
the DMV in my state had a data breach and everyone in the state was effected. Which means EVERY person in my state is going to have to verify their Identity to the IRS THANKS DMV .
Yup me too
The DMV in my state also had a data breach. Maybe that's why I had to verify my identity.
I got a 5071c but it doesn’t have an instructions on it, any idea?
My money is delayed due to verifying. This is stupid
I’ve been waiting 2 months
@@gxgsquints9515you went in to the appointment and it’s been 2 months?
Omm
SAME! Nothing under Biden works! If this was difficult for a regular phone/computer user like me, imagine how the boomers are doing!
What in the 1984 did they get away with!?Diddo
I’ve been waiting since 2021
Dont forget the control number on the letter.
Now i have to wait 9 MORE weeks 😢
Why
Did you eventually get it cause I gotta wait 9 weeks for my 2021 income just verified on the phone
What is the control number and what do they say to you when you called to verify
My question is after i identify my id, do i have to follow any more steps or just wait for refund to come
I’ve filed the SAME EXACT TAX RETURN WITH THE SAME DEPENDENTS, AND SAME STATUS! FOR 25 YEARS! I RECEIVED A REFUND FREEZE. THEN A LETTER. I HAD TO SET AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE IRS TO SELF IDENTIFY. APPOINTMENTS WERE BACKLOGGED 60 DAYS!!! FINALLY I GET THERE THE BE TOLD I HAVE A CREDIT OF FAMILY SICK LEAVE THAT WAS ONLY FIR 2021-2022. I WENT BACK THROUGH MY 1040 RETURN AND I DONOT HAVE A CREDIT OF SUCH. I CALLED AND FINALLY SPOKE TO SOMEONE AND THEY SAID MY SCHEDULE 3 WAS TO HIGH AND THEY MAY BE THE PROBLEM. LIKE WHHHAAAATTTTTTT!!!! 🤬 TOLD ME I HAVE TO WAIT UP TO 190 DAYS!! GIVE ME MY MONEY!!!
Tried calling them for 2 months they are not accepting any calls went in person and they told me to call so at this point what to do
I don't have a problem with the federal tax.I have a problem with the state tabs.How do I receive my state tax?Who should I call to receive my state texas

Hi, verify the identity is far more important.so how can I be identify?
I am waiting since 2019!
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.
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.
Thanks
