IRS Notices & Letters
“What is a CP12 IRS notice, and how do I handle it?”
A CP12 IRS notice is typically a letter about a return where the IRS has made a change, often tied to a math correction or a revised refund amount. The practical response usually depends on what was changed, whether the notice matches the filed return, and whether any supporting records show a different result. It is also important to look at the notice date, the tax year involved, and whether the adjustment affects other parts of the return, such as credits or withholding. Keeping the notice and return together often helps make sense of the IRS’s explanation. A short conversation with a CPA can sort out what applies to your specific numbers.
