IRS Notices & Letters
“I got a CP12 notice from the IRS, what does it mean and what do I do?”
A CP12 notice usually means the IRS made a change to a filed return and, in many cases, the change affects the refund amount. The meaning often depends on what the IRS adjusted, whether the return was filed electronically or on paper, and whether the notice shows a balance due, a reduced refund, or no further action needed. The notice language, the tax year involved, and any supporting records for credits, income, or withholding are often the key items to review when figuring out the next step. A targeted review with a CPA can turn the uncertainty into a clear next step.
