TP received this IRS letter in the mail. I verified that banking info on the return was same as successfully used for last 3 years…. The letter goes on to say he has 30 days to update his banking info or create an account with id.me….(TP is 85YO so, not a chance. 

Does anyone know next step in IRS procedure? Will they mail a letter he can update or provide banking info? 

IMO, the issue is/was caused by his bank and he should have a ‘conversation’ with them. Concern is that even if he updates his info (with no changes) that it will happen again. 

If at first you don’t succeed…..find a workaround

The easiest option is to do nothing and patiently wait a few weeks for the refund check to come.  But that doesn’t mean someone can’t harass the bank.

Thanks… I am under the impression that there may be a few more steps this year before check issuance as a result of the exec order.

No extra steps required.  We had one that went the patience route.  Got the letter, ignored it, and the check came without any additional effort.

IRS glitch apparently.


The more I know the more I don’t know.
