WE CHANGED YOUR RETURN - YOU HAVE AN AMOUNT DUE
This notice was sent to you because the IRS has made an adjustment to your tax return. The top of the second page will indicate what caused the and the remainder of the notice will discuss added penalties and interest.
The top right portion of the notice will indicate the date of the notice, the primary social security number or Employer ID number, the type tax due and the date the tax period ended. It will also have the contact number, which should be the Taxpayer Service number of (800) 829-8815.
If you feel like the adjustment is correct and you can afford to pay the balance shown, I advise you to remit the amount shown as soon as possible, using the envelope included with the notice. If you disagree, you will need to call the number on the notice. You will likely need to send support for your position to them although some matters can be corrected on the phone. An example would be a bad social security number caused by transposing a number.
If you agree with the amount but are unable to pay it all right now there are several options. If you owe no other tax, the amount due is less than $25,000, and you can pay the balance off in 60 months or less - call the number listed at the top right of the notice and make arrangements with them. You can specify the day of the month you want to make payments. You are advised to pay it off as soon as possible, however, you may ask them what the minimum payment is to pay off the balance in 60 months. If the amount is more than you can handle or the technician refuses to give you that option - select one of the options below.
One caution -- if the taxes are 941 (payroll) taxes from your employee's withholding, you have a very different problem and need to seek professional help as soon as possible, unless you are in a position to pay the liability within 30 days. Please contact our office if this is the case.
