6468 letter explained, in the IRS’s own words
This letter provides more information about your right to appeal a change we made to the amount of the Recovery Rebate Credit on your 2020 tax return. The change was because you indicated that someone else claimed you (or your spouse if married filing jointly) on their tax return for that year. We previously sent you a CP 11, 12, or 13 notice explaining the change, but that notice did not properly explain your appeal rights.
