An IRS notice does not automatically mean a taxpayer is under audit or has done something wrong. Many notices begin with relatively ordinary discrepancies: a missing W-2, an unreported Form 1099, an estimated payment applied to the wrong year, a Marketplace insurance form that was not reconciled, or a dependent whose information does not match government records. This comprehensive guide explains the filing mistakes that commonly lead to IRS correspondence, how the IRS identifies discrepancies, and how taxpayers can reduce preventable problems before a return is submitted.
Learn how IRS audits work, why returns may be selected, what documents the IRS may request, taxpayer rights, and how to prepare with organized records.
