If you’ve received an IRS Notice CP 54B, CP 54E, CP 54G, or CP 54Q, you might be wondering what they mean and what steps you need to take. Let’s break it down in plain language.
What Are IRS Notices CP 54B, CP 54E, CP 54G, and CP 54Q?
These notices are sent to taxpayers when there is a discrepancy between the name and/or taxpayer identification number (TIN) on your tax return and the information the IRS has on file. This can happen for various reasons, such as a recent name change or an error in your tax return.

What Should You Do Next?
Read the Notice Carefully: The notice will provide specific details about the discrepancy. Make sure to understand the reason.
Review Your Identifying Information: Compare the information shown on the notice to your most recent social security card or taxpayer ID card.
Complete the Response Form: Fill out the CP54 response form to explain the discrepancies. Include copies of documents to substantiate your name and identifying number.
Update Your Records: Contact the SSA or IRS to update your records if necessary.
