IRS letters & tax resolution

Most IRS letters are fixable, and many are routine. Type the notice number from the corner of yours to see what it means and how fast you need to move.

Find your notice number

Top or bottom right corner, usually starting with CP, LT or “Letter”.

The IRS thinks some income is missing

Respond soon
What it means
Their W-2 and 1099 records don't match your return, so they propose extra tax. It isn't a bill yet, and it's often partly wrong.
Deadline
Usually 30 days from the letter date
What to do
Don't just pay it. Have Nils compare their forms with your return before the response date.
Send this letter to Nils

A general guide, not advice on your case. The date on your letter is what counts.

When a letter arrives, in order

  1. 1

    Open it

    Ignoring a notice is the only move that always makes it worse.

  2. 2

    Find the date

    The response window starts from the date printed on the letter.

  3. 3

    Don't pay blindly

    Proposed amounts are often partly wrong. Check before you send money.

  4. 4

    Send it to Nils

    Upload a photo. He'll explain it and, if you want, answer the IRS for you.

An Enrolled Agent stands between you and the IRS

An Enrolled Agent is a federally authorized tax practitioner who has demonstrated specialized knowledge of federal taxation and is authorized to represent taxpayers before the IRS. Nils has held that authority since 2013.

He can represent U.S. citizens nationwide on a wide range of federal tax matters. The one exception is U.S. Tax Court.

“Mr Lenz did an outstanding job fixing my tax problems and has helped me do my taxes every year since then.”
