Got this letter from the IRS yesterday concerning my 2020 tax filing. The credit shown is the same amount as the check for taxes owed that was enclosed with my 2020 tax return. All was sent in early April 2021 .
Any suggestions before I call that number?

First... don't worry or get too excited.

Second... call them and get it straightened out.


What from Christ that soul can sever,
Bound by everlasting bands?
None shall take thee
From the Strength of Israel's hands.

As stated above, but I would contact them with independently verified ph. No. There no. Has always ended in 1040 as suffix as far as I can remember. Look for an official doc number of form like IRS xxxx. I would initially call scam without more info.

We got a letter stating we owed 12k

We had paid that off in 2021 and have all the needed documentation

My wife called the # on the paper
3 times they picked up and hung up....4th time a guy said is this for State or federal. My wife said No offices are Both. He hung up ...
Probably a scam. I bet lots of people make them payments.

My accounting outfit has filed amended tax documents 5 yrs. after initial fileing. Check the IRS web site for contact info. Don't give any info to unknown persons. Good luck, head on a swivel.

That phone number is a valid IRS number for dealing with "balance due" questions.

It sounds as though your check somehow got separated from your return. Did you file electronically ? and send a physical check ?

I'd call them and tell them you have received their mail.Let them take it from there. They aren't asking for more money so that makes me believe it isn't a scam. At least it's a letter and not a phone call.

So after an hour of trying the "PLEASE PRESS ONE...PLEASE PRESS THREE...PLEASE PRESS ONE".. I finally got directed towards an actual person and got the "SORRY, DUE TO UNUSUALLY HIGH VOLUME, PLEASE CALL BACK AT A LATER DATE"...

Just add another three letter agency that has lost my respect...

They are awful to deal with. I had an issue that they would not resolve, I sent them documentation with certified letters, two letters and it was fixed after months of phone calls and non certified letters.

That figures !

Hopefully you have a copy of your return that you can send again.......with a copy of the cancelled check and a copy of that letter. Send return receipt requested.

Our state lost my Tax check last year, said I hadn't paid. Argued otherwise but sent a second one and before they got it they found the first one.

Told the guy, why not double check BEFORE you blame the taxpayers?

Finally got a person from the IRS on the phone. Apparently different branches of the IRS don't coordinate very well. My return and check were received over nine months ago but the return is still being processed. No need for me to take any action... I did get the impression I was being spanked for still using paper returns...

Sounds like many are getting these notices so my advice is get on the phone before sending them more paperwork.....
