“What’s the IRS CP12 notice, and how do I respond?”

High urgencyQuick Question · 30 min · $95

An IRS CP12 notice is often associated with a change to a filed return, commonly involving a math correction or an adjustment to the amount originally reported. The practical response usually depends on what the notice says changed, whether the revised refund or balance matches the taxpayer’s records, and whether there are other items on the return that could be affected. It also helps to compare the notice with the original filing and any supporting documents, since errors in income, withholding, or credits can sometimes lead to a different result. Going through your records with a CPA usually surfaces the answer in under an hour.
