“I got a CP12 from the IRS; what does that mean?”

High urgencyQuick Question · 30 min · $95

A CP12 is an IRS notice that often relates to a change on a filed return, commonly when the IRS makes an adjustment and the result is a refund difference or a balance change. The details usually depend on which line items were involved, whether the return was e-filed or paper filed, and how the IRS matched the figures to its records. The notice itself explains what was changed and why, so the wording, the tax year, and any attached explanation are often the key points to review when understanding the next step. A focused session can map this against your actual situation in plain English.

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.
