IRS Notices & Letters
“I have an IRS letter saying I owe money, and it doesn't make sense to me, is this official?”
An IRS letter that says you owe money can be official, but the details matter because some notices are routine balance notices, some are based on a return the IRS processed, and some can be mistaken or tied to identity theft or an account mix-up. The notice number, the tax year involved, and whether it includes IRS contact information or an explanation of how the amount was calculated often help show what kind of letter it is. If the wording seems inconsistent, the account transcript and any recent filing history are often important context. A short conversation with a CPA can sort out what applies to your specific numbers.
In your 30-minute session, the KGOB advisor handling it will:
