What to check before you answer
Is this letter really from the IRS?
The IRS writes first by mail. A real letter shows a notice or letter number, your name and part of your tax ID number. The IRS does not ask for payment by gift card, crypto or wire transfer. If in doubt, sign in to your IRS online account, where many notices are listed.

What you need to know
We’re required by law to maintain a list of third-party contacts. In some cases, we’re required to provide this to the individual the information you provided is related to. If you don’t want to be on this list, call us at the phone number on your notice.
