A closing letter may be a letter other than Letter 4674C when procedural guidance specifies the letter must be sent to the taxpayer (i.e., Letter 105C) or third party (i.e., Letter 135C). The closing letter must include the appropriate phone number based on the criteria below. It is not necessary to issue a Letter 4674C in addition to the closing letter required by the procedural guidance, unless additional information needs to be provided that cannot be included (i.e., providing a detailed explanation of changes when issuing Letter 474C). When appropriate, an open paragraph may be used to address the identity theft claim when sending a letter other than Letter 4674C. The following paragraph or similar verbiage may be used:"We reviewed and accepted the identity theft claim dated (month day, year). We have verified you are a victim of identity theft for tax year(s) (YYYY, YYYY, and YYYY)." Input the claim date in place of (month day, year) and enter only the applicable tax year(s) in the format YYYY.
