Form 13803: Application to Participate in the IVES Program
Form 13803, Application to Participate in the Income Verification Express Service (IVES) Program, is a two-page application a business files with the IRS. The same form handles a new application, a renewal, an amendment, a new location, a cancellation or an address change.
It asks for the business's legal name, EIN or SSN, addresses, the reasons for using IVES (mortgage services, banking service or other), and details for the IVES account principal, a business point of contact and a responsible official. Line 14 is an agreement to review Publication 4557, Safeguarding Taxpayer Data, and to use taxpayer information received through a Form 4506-C request only for the purposes the taxpayer or requester intended.
The form says to fax the application to the IVES application line and that the IRS runs a suitability check before it notifies the applicant of acceptance. You can fill out Form 13803 free in your browser on this page and download it without an account.
