IRS Notices & Letters
“I got a confusing IRS notice that says I owe money, is this actually from the IRS?”
A confusing notice that says money is owed can sometimes be an official IRS letter, but it can also be a scam or a misdirected notice, so the details matter. The notice number, the sender address, and whether it references a specific tax year or account are often important clues. The wording, any payment instructions, and whether the notice matches prior filings can also help determine if it is genuine. In many cases, an IRS notice can reflect a balance, a proposed change, or a request for more information rather than an immediate demand. Sitting down with a CPA for thirty minutes is usually enough to draw a clean line on this.
