IRS Notices & Letters
“I got a CP12 notice in the mail from the IRS, what is it about?”
A CP12 notice is commonly sent when the IRS has made a change to a filed return and that change affects the refund or balance due. It often relates to items like math corrections, payments, or credits that were handled differently on the return. The exact meaning depends on the tax year involved, the return details, and whether the notice shows an adjustment to a refund or a remaining amount due. The notice language and the specific line items mentioned usually determine what the IRS changed and how it was calculated. A short conversation with a CPA can sort out what applies to your specific numbers.
