Fraud Alert: If you receive a CP53E notice from the IRS, please go directly to irs.gov/account rather than using the QR code printed on the notice. QR codes can be easily created and used by fraudsters. For your security, we recommend typing irs.gov/account directly into your browser. Once there, you can sign in to your account or create an ID.me account and follow the instructions provided by the IRS. If you have questions or concerns about the notice, please contact the IRS directly.
