IRS Notices & Letters
“What should I do about an IRS CP12 letter?”
An IRS CP12 letter usually means the IRS made a change to a filed return and is explaining how that adjustment affects the refund or balance due. The practical response often depends on what changed, whether the numbers on the notice match the return, and whether the taxpayer agrees with the adjustment. It is also common to review the return, the notice date, and any supporting records tied to the items the IRS adjusted. If the notice appears inconsistent or there are missing forms or income items, the details in the letter and the original filing can shape the next step. A short conversation with a CPA can sort out what applies to your specific numbers.
