IRS Notices & Letters
“I got a CP11 letter from the IRS, what is it?”
A CP11 letter is an IRS notice that usually reflects a change the agency made to a filed return, often involving a balance due or a math adjustment. The details in the notice, the tax year involved, and whether the return was filed electronically or on paper can all affect what the letter means in practice. It also matters whether the notice is tied to income, credits, or payments already reported. Because these letters can sometimes include an updated amount or explanation, the wording on the notice is often the best place to start. Sitting down with a CPA for thirty minutes is usually enough to draw a clean line on this.
