What you need to know
If we previously sent you a Statutory Notice of Deficiency (sent by certified mail), it lists the last day to petition the Tax Court. The court can't consider your case if you file the petition late. For more information about petitioning the Tax Court, review page 5 of Publication 3498-A, The Examination Process PDF or visit United States Tax Court.
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.
