What does my IRS letter mean?
Paste the text that appears on your IRS letter or notice. In plain terms you learn how much the letter says you owe, which date counts and what you may do next.
No text to paste? Which IRS notice do you have?
Page one shows the notice number at the top right, next to the date.
After you learn what it says, what should you do?
If the letter asks for an amount you cannot pay right away, a payment plan stops the bill from going further.
What the reading covers and what it leaves out
The reading uses only the words you paste: the notice number, the tax years covered, the amount due and the dates that apply. It cannot reach your IRS account, so any payments made after the letter was printed will not show. The live balance appears in your IRS Online Account.
Would you prefer to talk the letter through with someone?
On the phone with you, a licensed tax pro can review it, check the dates and amounts against your other notices and tell you which step to take first. Or put your number on the form instead.
