Hello all,

We have experienced a large sample size of clients that have gotten the 5071C Notice. This is the notice that requires the client to confirm if they did in fact file a return because the IRS received a return with the clients SS#.

If we did file the return for the client we need to create an online account to confirm we did in fact file the return. If we did not file the return we need to go to the IRS.gov/VerifyReturn link to let the IRS we did not file a return.  If this is the case the return needs to be filed manually.  

We have had a larger than what we would consider normal amount of these notices sent to our clients.  

Has anyone else noticed a larger than normal amount of these notices going to their late filing clients?
