HOW TO: IRS VERIFICATION OF NON-FILING LETTER

If you did not file taxes in 2019, you and your parents may need a “Verification of Non-filing Letter” from the IRS.

What is an IRS Verification of Non-filing Letter?

  • A document provided by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) which confirms there is no record of taxes filed for a specific person
  • An official document to fulfill Department of Education verification requirements
  • The letter is requested from the IRS. It is free to request and receive.
  • Typically received in 5-10 days depending on the method you use to request
  • The letter provides proof that you did not file. It does not indicate whether you were required to file. If you have never filed taxes, you need to request by paper using the 4506-T form.
  • Request online, by phone, or by paper request (IRS Form 4506-T). Instructions below.
