Usually these problems are not as bad as you think.
The IRS sends millions and millions of letters and notices to taxpayers for a variety of reasons. Many of these letters and notices can be dealt with without having to call or visit an IRS office. Many times you can just send correspondence by mail back to the IRS to resolve the dispute.
What you need to know about IRS notices and letters:
1. There are a number of reasons why the IRS might send you a notices or letters. Tax Notices/Letters may request payment, notify you of account changes, or request additional information.
A notice always covers a very specific issue about your tax account or tax return. and always a specific tax year or tax period.
2. Each IRS letter or notice offers specific instructions on what action you need to take. Make sure you call back by the assigned follow up date on the letter.
3. If you receive a correction notice, you should review the correspondence and compare it with the information on your return. Make sure you have back up information to support your finding with the IRS.
4. If you agree with the correction to your account, then usually no reply is necessary unless a payment is due or the notice directs otherwise. Follow up and all correspondence and make sure the problem is fully resolved by the IRS.
5. If you do not agree with the correction the IRS made, it is important to respond as requested. You should send a written explanation of why you disagree and include any documents and information you want the IRS to consider along with the bottom tear-off portion of the notice.
You should mail the information to the IRS address shown in the upper left of the notice. Allow at least 30- 45 days for the IRS to response.
6. Most correspondence can be handled without calling or visiting an IRS office. However, if you have questions, call the telephone number in the upper right of the notice. Have a copy of your tax return and the correspondence available when you call to help the IRS respond to your inquiry.
