Tips for Taxpayers Who Receive an IRS Notice
There are millions of letters and notices sent to taxpayers by the Internal Revenue Service every year, but do not worry. Many of the notices and letters can be dealt with easily. There are many reasons why the IRS sends notices to taxpayers. The letter will cover a specific issue about your tax return or account and will give specific instructions on what steps you need to take to satisfy the inquiry. When receiving a correction notice, review your return with the information in your letter. If in agreement with the correction stated in your notice, then no reply is necessary unless you are required to make a payment. If you are in disagreement with the correction the IRS made, it is important to respond to the notice. Write to the IRS why you disagree, include any documents you want the IRS to consider, along with the bottom tear-off portion of your letter, and mail it to the IRS address on your notice. If you have questions, you can contact or visit an IRS office. Remember to keep copies of any correspondence for your records.
