Each year, the IRS sends millions of notices and letters to taxpayers.

•  Don’t panic. You often only need to respond to take care of a notice.
•  There are many reasons why the IRS may send a letter or notice. It typically is about a specific issue on your federal tax return or tax account. A notice may tell you about changes to your account or ask you for more information. It could    also tell you that you must make a payment. Each notice has specific instructions about what you need to do.
•  You may get a notice that states the IRS has made a change or correction to your tax return. If you do, review the information and compare it with your original return.
•  If you agree with the notice, you usually don’t need to reply unless it gives you other instructions or you need to make a payment.
•  If you do not agree with the notice, it’s important for you to respond. You should write a letter to explain why you disagree. Include any information and documents you want the IRS to consider.
•  You shouldn’t have to call or visit an IRS office for most notices. If you do have questions, call the phone number in the upper right-hand corner of the notice. Have a copy of your tax return and the notice with you when you call.
•  Keep copies of any notices you receive with your other tax records.
•  The IRS sends letters and notices by mail. We do not contact people by email or social media to ask for personal or financial information.
