Depending on the situation, the taxpayer will receive one of three letters asking them to clarify their identity. Letter 5071C, asks them to use an online tool to verify their identity and tell the IRS if they filed the return in question. Letter 4883C, asks the taxpayer to call the IRS to verify their identity and tell the IRS if they filed the return. For those who have been a victim of a data breach, they may receive Letter 5747C and be asked to verify their identity in person at a Taxpayer Assistance Center. IRS on identity theft protection.
