IRS Notices & Letters
“I have an IRS letter saying I owe taxes, but I don't understand the notice, is it legitimate?”
An IRS letter saying taxes are owed can be legitimate, but the details matter, especially the notice number, the taxpayer name and address, and whether the account information matches prior filings. In many cases, the wording, formatting, and contact information on the letter can help indicate whether it is an official IRS notice or a scam attempt. The account year involved, any balance shown, and whether the notice refers to a return, payment, or adjustment are also important clues when reviewing the letter’s validity and next steps. A targeted review with a CPA can turn the uncertainty into a clear next step.
