Today we'll learn about the identity verification quiz. The identity verification quiz is a
new tool we're using to protect you. It will prevent someone else from using your identity
to file a false tax return. The quiz consists of four multiple choice questions that only
you should know.
A small percentage of taxpayers will be required to take the quiz. If you're selected, you
will receive a letter in the mail.
Here are some things to keep in mind when taking the quiz:
Have your letter with you because you'll need the letter ID.
You'll also need the last four digits of your social security number or individual tax identification
number. You can take the quiz online or by telephone.
If you are unable to take the quiz, call our office at 608-264-4598 and a customer service
representative will be happy to assist you.
Remember, only you can take the quiz. If you have a legal guardian or power of attorney,
they must mail the necessary documents to confirm your identity.
Our priority is to prevent identity theft and protect taxpayers. Identity verification
is one more tool we're using to serve you.
