IRS Notices & Letters
“Why did the IRS send me a letter instead of my refund?”
An IRS letter instead of a refund often points to something in the return that needs review, such as a mismatch in reported income, a missing form, an identity verification issue, or an offset for another federal obligation. The exact reason depends on the notice type, the tax year involved, and whether the return was filed electronically or on paper. In many cases, the letter is simply asking for clarification or explaining that the refund is being held while the IRS checks records. A focused session can map this against your actual situation in plain English.
In your 30-minute session, the KGOB advisor handling it will:
- Read your exact situation and tell you, in plain English, what’s actually going on.
- Lay out your options and the trade-offs — no jargon, no judgment.
- Give you a clear next step you can act on, whether that’s with us or on your own.
