IRS Notices & Letters
“What should I do if I got a CP11 notice from the IRS?”
A CP11 notice usually means the IRS has made a change to a return and says a balance is now due, so the main considerations are what item was adjusted, whether the notice matches the filed return, and whether any payments or credits were already applied. The details often depend on the tax year involved, the specific line items the IRS changed, and whether the notice reflects an error, a missing payment, or a processing issue. It is also important to keep the notice, the return, and any related records together so the amounts and explanations can be compared carefully. Sitting down with a CPA for thirty minutes is usually enough to draw a clean line on this.
