Do I Need to Use Form 14039-B?
Send us Form 14039-B if you get a:
- Rejection notice for an electronically filed return because we already have a return on file for that same period
- Notice about a tax return that you didn't file
- Notice about Forms W-2 filed with the Social Security Administration that you didn't file
- Notice of a balance due that you do not owe
- You get a notice for a business, but you never applied for an EIN
Do not send us Form 14039-B if:
- Your business, estate, trust or exempt organization had a data breach with no tax-related impact to your business.
- For example, a business has a breach of their computer system, but they find no evidence that fraudulent tax returns or Forms W-2 are being filed
