You should have sent a semen sample while you were at it.

Sounds to me like you never attached Form 8332 like you were required to do to begin with....residency is about as relevant as your DNA sample and I can only imagine the look on the eyes of whomever opened your mail at the campus and I don't want to know in what form your sample arrived as.

If you sent in form 8332, or an affidavit that was equivalent to form 8332, then there should be no reason that the IRS would be asking you to prove residency, unless you also claimed EIC or the child care credit, which depend upon residency.
