Fax Form 14039 — Identity Theft Affidavit

Form 14039 is faxed to 855-807-5720 — but only when you are not responding to an IRS notice. If you received a notice, use the fax number or address printed on that notice instead.

The business version, Form 14039-B, goes to the same number. Either way you get an emailed transmission report the moment the fax completes.
