IRS Notices & Letters
“The IRS says I owe a tax amount on a notice I don't understand, is this official?”
An IRS notice about a balance due is often official, but the details matter because scam letters can look similar. The notice number, the return year or tax period, and any account or contact information are usually the first clues about whether it came from the IRS. The wording on the letter, the mailing address, and whether it references prior filings or payments can also help clarify what is being claimed. If the notice is hard to follow, the exact type of letter and any visible notice code often shape how the issue is understood. A short conversation with a CPA can sort out what applies to your specific numbers.
