Open That Letter!

Receiving a letter from the IRS can be a nerve wracking experience, but it’s important not to ignore it.  Take a deep and open that letter.

The IRS sends letters for a variety of reasons, and not all of them are bad news. Sometimes, the IRS may need additional information to process your tax return, or they may be notifying you of a change in your tax situation. Ignoring these letters can lead to bigger problems later, such as penalties or interest on unpaid taxes.

The IRS may also send letters to inform you of potential errors on your tax return. This could be anything from a simple math error to a more significant issue that needs to be corrected. By opening the letter and resolving the issue, you can ensure that your tax return is accurate and avoid any future complications.

Another reason to open IRS letters is that they often contain important deadlines. For example, if the IRS is auditing your tax return, there will be a specific timeframe in which you need to respond. Missing these deadlines can result in additional fines, penalties, or further actions by the IRS. By opening the letter right away, you may be able to avoid these potential consequences.

It is also worth mentioning that the IRS will never contact you via email or phone to request personal information. Scammers often pose as IRS agents to steal personal information.

Receiving a letter from the IRS can be scary but it is important not to ignore it. Open that letter and read it carefully. By doing so, you can resolve any issues promptly, avoid penalties, and make sure your tax situation is in order.
