IRS Notices & Letters

“I got a CP11 notice from the IRS, what does it mean and what do I do?”

High urgencyQuick Question · 30 min · $95

A CP11 notice usually means the IRS has made a change to a filed return and believes there is a balance due, often because of an adjustment to income, credits, or withholding. The details in the notice matter, including which tax year is involved, what line items were changed, and whether the IRS says the amount is correct or can be questioned. It also helps to check whether the return was filed jointly, whether any estimated payments or withholding were missed, and whether the notice could relate to a math correction or a matching issue. A short conversation with a CPA can sort out what applies to your specific numbers.

In your 30-minute session, the KGOB advisor handling it will:

  • Read your exact situation and tell you, in plain English, what’s actually going on.
  • Lay out your options and the trade-offs — no jargon, no judgment.
  • Give you a clear next step you can act on, whether that’s with us or on your own.
