IRS Notices & Letters
“The IRS sent me a notice about an amount I owe, but I'm confused, is it legit?”
An IRS notice about an amount owed can be legitimate, but the details matter, especially the notice number, the taxpayer name and address, and whether the account information matches prior filings. In many cases, confusion comes from a balance due notice, a math correction, or an adjustment tied to a return already on file. The wording, formatting, and contact information can also help distinguish an official IRS letter from a scam attempt. If the notice references a specific tax year or account activity, that context often shapes how the balance was calculated and what records are relevant. A targeted review with a CPA can turn the uncertainty into a clear next step.
