Got an IRS notice and don't know what it means? Enter the information below for a general explanation and next-step guide.
🚨 IMPORTANT — DON'T PANIC & DON'T IGNORE IT
Receiving an IRS notice does not automatically mean you are being audited, that you did something wrong, or that you owe additional tax.
The IRS sends notices for many different reasons, including requesting information, correcting a return, reporting a balance due, or explaining a change to an account.
This tool provides general educational information. It does not replace the specific instructions, deadline, or requirements printed on your IRS notice.
🔐 PRIVACY FIRST
Do NOT enter your Social Security number, ITIN, bank account number, full credit card number, or other sensitive personal information into this tool.
If NTB needs the actual notice, upload it through Taxes To Go using your secure client account.
📄 YOUR NOTICE
Enter the number exactly as shown on the notice.
Enter the deadline printed on your notice. If there isn't one, leave blank.
You do not need to paste the entire notice. The section explaining why you received it and what you need to do is usually the most useful.
