IRS Notices & Letters
“The IRS mailed me a letter saying I owe money, but I'm not sure it's genuine?”
An IRS letter claiming a balance due can raise both tax and identity-theft concerns, and the details of the notice usually matter a lot. The notice number, the sender address, and whether the account information matches prior filings can all help indicate if it is authentic. In many cases, the wording, payment instructions, and any account reference numbers also provide clues. If the letter looks unusual or inconsistent, the surrounding facts, such as recent filing activity or prior IRS correspondence, often shape how it is interpreted. A short conversation with a CPA can sort out what applies to your specific numbers.
