Your Tax Letter Scan result
These results are general information generated by software. They are not legal advice, no attorney has reviewed them, and they may not capture everything in your situation. No attorney-client relationship exists between you and anyone as a result of this diagnostic.
Tax Letter Scan is a self-directed technology platform that provides general educational information. It does not provide legal, tax, accounting, or financial advice, and it does not create an attorney-client or other professional relationship. No professional reviews your scan or any generated materials. You decide how to proceed and should consult a qualified professional for advice about your facts.
What this code means
The IRS says it corrected one or more mistakes on your tax return, and as a result you are now due a refund or your original refund amount has changed.
Read the “What we changed on your return” section of your notice and compare each change with the return you filed.
General next-step checklist
If you agree with the changes, the IRS says no response is required and a refund check generally follows in 4 to 6 weeks unless you owe other tax or debts.
Correct the copy of the return you kept for your records, but do not send it to the IRS.
If you disagree, contact the IRS at the number on the notice by the date it shows and keep a record of the call or letter.
What this result cannot tell you
This explanation cannot determine whether the IRS correction was right for your return.

If you want an attorney to review your situation, Law Office of Alexander Powell, PLLC is a separate law firm owned by our founder, Alexander Powell. It handles tax controversy matters in the District of Columbia and Maryland. It is a different company from Cited Authorities LLC, and choosing to contact it is entirely up to you. Contacting the firm does not make you a client. The firm becomes your attorney only if it accepts your matter after a conflict check and you both sign an engagement agreement. Until then, do not treat anything you send as protected by attorney-client privilege, and do not rely on any deadline running or being handled on your behalf.
