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.
See TC 976-977 for amended return.
Note: filing an amended return does not affect the selection process of the original return. However, amended returns also go through a screening process and the amended return may be selected for audit. Additionally, a refund is not necessarily a trigger for an audit.
