What happens if IRS has already filed for you and it’s wrong, what can you do?
Even if the IRS has already filed a substitute return, it still makes sense for you to file your own return to make sure you take advantage of all the exemptions, credits, and deductions you are allowed. The IRS will generally adjust your account to reflect the correct figures.
This process of undoing what IRS has created is caught asking IRS found audit reconsideration.
What Can You do?
The IRS typically mails an audit report (sometimes called an examination report) to you within a few weeks after conducting an audit.
This report explains any proposed changes to your tax return. You should review the complete audit report, including the report’s attachments to figure out which changes you think may be incorrect.
If you don’t have this report or can’t locate the report you received, you may either call the IRS toll-free help line (800) 829-1040 to request a copy of the report or you may set up an appointment at your local Taxpayer Assistance Center for assistance.
Gather documentation to support your position
• Make sure the documentation is new information that wasn’t part of the original audit, and that it’s for the tax year the IRS audited.
Send your request for audit reconsideration to the office that last corresponded with you
You don’t need to complete a special form – just a letter explaining your request for audit reconsideration. Be clear about which changes you want the IRS to consider.
You should provide:
• A copy of your audit report (IRS Form 4549, Income Tax Examination Changes), if available.
• Copies of the new documentation that supports your position. Don’t send original documents. Send copies.
Unanswered IRS 6020 B of Back Taxes Spells Trouble
IRS files thousands of back tax returns each year under the IRC provision of 6020B.
As former IRS agents, we filed back taxes for taxpayers when we were employed by the IRS.
This process of filing by the IRS is called SRF or Substitute Tax Return process, and we understand exactly how it works.
The process of SRF works like this:
IRS conducts matching programs each and every year on their CADE 2 system, which matches all W-2’s and 1099’s.
If the computer finds no tax return posted against the W-2’s or 1099’s the IRS will prepare an SRF tax returns. This is not what you want to happen, so if you can correct the situation, you should.
IRS will not do you a favor filing your SRF return for back taxes. IRS will only give you the standard deductions, and nothing more.
From there the IRS will send out 4-5 notices, which, if you don’t respond, they’ll then send Notices of Federal Tax Levy, both Bank levy’s and Wage garnishment levies.
They will continue to levy until they get your attention. After that, the IRS will follow that up with a Filing of the Notice of Federal Tax Lien.
