IRS Notices & Letters
“I received a CP12 notice from the IRS, what does it mean for my return?”
A CP12 notice usually means the IRS adjusted something on a filed return and believes the change affects the refund or balance due. The details often depend on what was reported, whether the adjustment came from a math correction, a credit change, or a mismatch with IRS records, and whether the notice shows an updated refund amount or a remaining balance. The notice language and any enclosed explanation are important, along with the original return and supporting documents, since those help show what changed and why the IRS reached that result. Sitting down with a CPA for thirty minutes is usually enough to draw a clean line on this.
