IRS Notices & Letters
“I got a CP12 from the IRS, what is it asking me to do?”
A CP12 is an IRS notice that usually means the agency made a change to a tax return and, based on that adjustment, a refund amount may have shifted or a balance may have been affected. The main points are often the return line items involved, the IRS explanation for the adjustment, and whether the notice shows a refund, a reduced refund, or an amount due. In many cases, the response depends on whether the taxpayer agrees with the IRS changes, whether supporting records are available, and whether any related return details need to be reviewed for accuracy. Walking the details through with a CPA is the fastest way to know what truly applies here.
