Irs mail

The IRS (Internal Revenue Service) sends various types of mail to taxpayers throughout the year. Here are some common types of IRS mail:

1. Notice of Audit: If the IRS selects your tax return for audit, you'll receive a notice in the mail explaining the reason for the audit and the issues they're investigating.
2. Notice of Deficiency: If the IRS determines you owe additional taxes, you'll receive a notice stating the amount owed and the reason for the deficiency.
3. Notice of Overpayment: If you've overpaid your taxes, you'll receive a notice explaining the amount of the overpayment and how it will be refunded or applied to future taxes.
4. Notice of Change in Account: If the IRS makes changes to your tax account, such as updating your address or changing your filing status, you'll receive a notice informing you of the changes.
5. Notice of Unfiled Tax Return: If you haven't filed a tax return, the IRS may send a notice reminding you to file and warning of potential penalties and interest.
6. Notice of Payment Due: If you owe taxes and haven't made a payment, the IRS may send a notice demanding payment and threatening penalties and interest.
7. Notice of Installment Agreement: If you've set up an installment agreement to pay off taxes owed, you'll receive a notice outlining the payment terms and schedule.
8. Notice of Levy: If the IRS has levied your bank account or wages to collect taxes owed, you'll receive a notice explaining the levy and the amount owed.
9. Notice of Lien: If the IRS has filed a lien against your property to collect taxes owed, you'll receive a notice explaining the lien and the amount owed.
10. Notice of Refund: If you're due a refund, you'll receive a notice explaining the amount of the refund and how it will be issued.
11. Notice of Address Change: If the IRS needs to update your address, you'll receive a notice requesting confirmation of your new address.
12. Notice of Identity Theft: If the IRS suspects your identity has been stolen and used to file a false tax return, you'll receive a notice informing you of the situation and the steps you need to take to resolve it.

If you receive an IRS notice, it's essential to:

• Read the notice carefully and understand the reason for the notice
• Respond promptly to the notice, if required
• Keep a copy of the notice for your records
• Contact the IRS or a tax professional if you have questions or concerns about the notice

Remember, the IRS will never initiate contact with you via email, text message, or social media. Be cautious of scams and phishing attempts that may try to impersonate the IRS.
