“I got a CP12 from the IRS about my tax return, what now?”

High urgencyQuick Question · 30 min · $95

A CP12 notice usually means the IRS made a change to a return and, in many cases, says whether that adjustment affects a refund or balance due. The next step often depends on the specific line items the IRS adjusted, whether the return was filed electronically or on paper, and whether the taxpayer’s records match the figures on the notice. It is also common to review the notice date, the IRS explanation, and any attached worksheets or account transcripts so the change can be compared against the original filing. Working through the specifics with a CPA is the cleanest way to land on the right move.
