IRS Notices & Letters
“Why did I receive a CP12 notice from the IRS?”
A CP12 notice from the IRS typically means the agency made a change to a return and found a difference in the refund amount, often because of a math correction, a credit adjustment, or a mismatch in information reported on the return. The exact reason can depend on the return type, the items involved, and whether the IRS adjusted income, withholding, or a credit claim. The notice usually explains what was changed and how that affected the refund, so the wording on the letter and the tax year involved are often the key details. A focused session can map this against your actual situation in plain English.
