You can use your real name in the application, but when it comes to the tax verification document (tax verification page), it’s important you enter the name you used on your 2023 taxes.
Important: If you use a name that does not exactly match the one on your official IRS tax documents, it may result in a denial or delay of IRS verification.
If you’re unsure which name to use, we recommend checking your most recent tax return or contacting the IRS directly.
