Identity Theft IRS Form - How To File IRS Identity Theft Affidavit Form 14039

Here we go over doing the form for an Identity Theft claim with the IRS.

It should be noted that a lot of the time you will get a notice from the IRS asking you to confirm your identity and you do not need to file this form.

If the IRS has not sent you a letter regarding your identity theft situation or if you were instructed to do so by an IRS agent, you should fill out Form 14039 which you can get here:
