Fax Form 14039 (identity theft affidavit) to the IRS

Before you fax

• The IRS prefers Form 14039 online, at IRS.gov/dmaf/form/f14039, though attachments can't be added there.
• Choose one way to send it, online, mail or fax, not several, and don't send another Form 14039 for an incident you already reported.
• Always include a cover sheet marked "Confidential".
• If you can't e-file because someone misused your SSN or ITIN, attach Form 14039 to your paper return and send both where you normally file, not to this number.
• Never fax an original tax return to this number.

How to send it without a fax machine

1. Fill in and sign Form 14039; add copies of anything that supports it.
2. Turn on the cover page and write "Confidential" in its subject.
3. Enter 855-807-5720 (or the number on your IRS letter) and add the pages.
4. Send, and keep the delivery receipt.
