IRS Notices & Letters
“Why did I get a CP12 notice from the IRS, and what do I do?”
A CP12 notice usually means the IRS adjusted a return and found a difference that changed the refund or balance due, often because of math, payment, or credit-related items on the return. The details in the notice, the tax year involved, and whether the IRS’s version matches your records are key to understanding what happened. In many cases, the notice also explains how the adjustment was made and whether any response is needed. Keeping the notice, the original return, and supporting records together can help clarify whether the change was expected or whether it points to a filing error. A CPA who reads your specifics can usually tell you, in plain English, where this lands.
