Navigating IRS Notice CP12

 July 30, 2024

Receiving a letter from the IRS can be intimidating, especially when it’s a CP12 notice. But fear not—Lamarre Law Group, P.A. is here to help you understand and navigate this process.

What is a CP12 Notice?

A CP12 notice is a letter sent by the IRS when they have made changes to your income, deductions, and credits on your tax return. This usually happens when the IRS believes there’s a miscalculation on your tax return. As a result of these changes, you may be due a refund.

What Should You Do If You Receive a CP12 Notice?

1. Read your notice carefully. It contains detailed information about the adjustments made to your tax return.
2. If you agree with the changes, no response is required.
3. You should receive a refund check in 4-6 weeks, as long as you don’t owe other tax or debts the IRS is required to collect.
4. Correct the copy of your tax return that you kept for your records.
5. If you don’t agree with the changes, contact the IRS within 60 days from the date of your notice.
   

What Happens Next?

If you agree with the changes and are due a refund, the IRS will send you a check. If you disagree with the changes, the IRS will review your case and provide further instructions.
