IVES invoice
Income Verification Express Services (IVES) users receive a monthly invoice based on the number of requests the IRS processed during the billing cycle. Each billing cycle is the duration of a calendar month. After each billing cycle, the IRS generates IVES invoices and mails each invoice via postal service to the billing address listed for the IVES account. IVES invoices are sent on the fifth of each month. If the fifth falls on a holiday, the invoice will be generated on the next business day.
IVES does not provide electronic invoices. Please ensure the billing address is correct. The principal can update the billing address by emailing the IVES program.
