Who this is for
Use it only if the IRS tells you to, if you can't use the online verification service, or if you want to report possible tax identity theft the IRS does not have on file. Businesses, trusts and estates use a different form (14039-B). You can file for yourself or for a dependent or deceased person.
How to apply
Complete Form 14039 and attach it to your paper tax return, then mail it to the IRS location for your state. You may also mail it separately from your return.
