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.
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.
3. Structure Your Letter Properly Your name, address, and contact information. A statement expressing your desire to appeal the IRS's findings. The tax period(s) in question. A list of the items you disagree with and why. Facts supporting your position. Any relevant law or authority supporting your case.
Typically, you only need to contact IRS if you don't agree with the information, if we requested additional information, or if you have a balance due. You can also write to IRS at the address in the notice or letter.
The IRS will review your correspondence and respond ingly. Allow at least 30 days for reply. There's usually no need to call the department.
When requesting abatement of penalties for reasonable cause, your statement should include supporting documentation and address the following items: The reason the penalty was charged. The daily delinquency penalty may be charged for either a late filed return, an incomplete return, or both.
Consider Certified Mail: For added security and proof of delivery, you may choose to send your mailpiece via certified mail with the return receipt requested. This provides confirmation that the IRS received your documents.
