IRS Notices & Letters
“My IRS letter is CP11, what does that mean for my return?”
A CP11 notice usually means the IRS has identified a change on a filed return and says that the result is a balance due or a revised refund amount. The practical meaning often depends on what item the IRS adjusted, whether the return was filed jointly or separately, and whether the taxpayer’s records match the figures the IRS used. It can also matter whether the notice reflects a simple math correction, a missing form, or another reporting difference. Reviewing the notice details and comparing them with the original return and supporting documents is often the starting point. A short conversation with a CPA can sort out what applies to your specific numbers.
