IRS Notices & Letters
“The IRS says I owe money, but the notice is confusing, how can I tell if it's legitimate?”
An IRS notice that says money is owed can be legitimate even when the wording feels unclear, so the main focus is usually on the notice number, the taxpayer name and address, and whether the tax year or account details match your records. The format, return address, and any IRS contact information can also help separate an authentic notice from a scam letter. In many cases, the account transcript, prior filings, and payment history provide the context needed to understand why the balance appears. If the notice references a recent return, amended return, or identity-theft concern, those details often shape the next step. A focused session can map this against your actual situation in plain English.
