What this notice is about
We made changes to your return because we believe there’s a miscalculation. As a result, you are due a refund.
What you need to do
You don't need to do anything.
You may want to
- Compare the figures on the notice with your tax return.
- If you agree with our changes, correct the copy of your tax return that you kept for your records.
- Complete and send us a Form 2848, Power of Attorney and Declaration of Representative PDF, to authorize someone (such as an accountant) to contact us on your behalf.
What if I do not receive my refund in 4-6 weeks?
If you don’t owe other taxes or debts we’re required to collect, such as child support, and 6 weeks have lapsed, call us at the number on your notice.
What if I disagree with the changes you made and don’t want the refund?

Tips for next year
Consider filing your taxes electronically. Filing online can help you to avoid mistakes and to find credits and deductions for which you may qualify. In many cases you can file electronically for free.
What to do next
- Write down the date on the letter today.
- Look the number up on irs.gov yourself. Don’t trust a link or phone number from anyone else.
- If it says you owe money or proposes changes to your return, take it to a licensed CPA, EA or tax attorney before that date.
