Sample Letter to the IRS Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to request a correction to my tax return. My social security number is 123-45-6789, and I filed my tax return for the 2020 tax year. I received a notice from the IRS stating that I owe additional taxes due to an error in my return.
Use Form 1040X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, to file an amended tax return. Be advised – you can't e-file an amended return. A paper form must be mailed in.
Look for the official IRS logo and letterhead, including the correct address and phone number. Dates should be recent, accurate, and accurately formatted (month spelled out), and they should include official IRS security or file numbers you can refer to for more information. A letter won't have this information.
