“What should I do if I got a CP12 notice from the IRS?”

High urgencyQuick Question · 30 min · $95

A CP12 notice usually means the IRS made a change to a return and the adjustment affected the refund amount, often because of a math issue, a credit calculation, or a mismatch in reported information. The useful details are the notice date, the tax year involved, and the specific line items the IRS says were changed. In many cases, the notice also explains whether the IRS issued a revised refund or applied the difference elsewhere. Keeping the notice, the return copy, and any supporting records together often helps determine whether the change appears to reflect a simple correction or something that needs further review. Walking the details through with a CPA is the fastest way to know what truly applies here.
