Read the letter carefully. Most IRS letters and notices are about federal tax returns or tax accounts.
Review the information. If a letter is about a changed or corrected tax return, the taxpayer should review the information and compare it with the original return.
Take any requested action, including making a payment. The IRS and authorized private debt collection agencies do send letters by mail. Taxpayers can also view digital copies of select IRS notices by logging into their IRS Online Account.
Reply only if instructed to do so. Taxpayers don’t need to reply to a notice unless specifically told to do so.
Keep the letter or notice for your records. Taxpayers should keep records for three years from the date they filed the tax return.
Watch for scams. The IRS will never contact a taxpayer using social media or text message. The first contact from the IRS usually comes in the mail. Taxpayers who are unsure whether they owe money to the IRS can view their tax account information on IRS.gov.
