The purpose of this letter is to respond to an IRS notice that is proposing adjustments to your income tax return, specifically to add items of unreported income. This letter can be used to communicate to the IRS how you disagree with its adjustments. The letter also gives you the opportunity to state how the item may be in error and what can be done to correct the IRS records. Whenever possible, attach to your letter additional documentation that will support your claim. For example, copies of forms or schedules that show the items in question. DO NOT send any original documents. Rather, make copies of the documents to enclose with the letter. Do not get discouraged if you receive more than one letter from the IRS on a particular item. These types of letters are usually computer generated and, thus, it is possible that you may receive several letters before the issue is properly settled. |
