IRS Notices & Letters
“I received an IRS letter I don't understand that says I owe money, is it a real notice?”
An IRS letter that says you owe money can be real, but the meaning depends on the notice number, the account details shown, and whether the amount matches your own tax records or prior filings. Many IRS notices are generated from return processing, unpaid balances, math adjustments, or identity-related issues, and some scam letters try to look similar. The wording, return address, and any account or notice identifiers often help determine whether it is an official IRS communication or something that needs closer review. A CPA who reads your specifics can usually tell you, in plain English, where this lands.
