Identify the key details
- The notice or letter number.
- The date issued and any response deadline.
- The tax period and amount shown.
- The action requested and the contact instructions.
Match the notice to the right tax year
Keep the relevant return, payment confirmation, or prior letter with the notice. Separate documents from different years so you do not compare the letter with the wrong information.
Keep a record of your response
If you respond, save a copy of what you sent and any mailing or submission confirmation. If you speak with someone, note the date and the next step discussed.
Ask about the deadline first
When calling for help, explain any response date immediately. Ask which work is included and what you should do next. Read more about IRS notice help.
