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 Letter 12C is sent when it needs more information to process an individual income tax return, such as a missing form or schedule or verification of income, withholding, credits, or identifying numbers.
Read every requested item, the response method, and the date printed on Letter 12C. Keep the letter with a copy of the filed return.
General next-step checklist
Create a list matching each requested item to the form, schedule, statement, or explanation that addresses it.
Use the response method and destination printed on the letter, even if a different IRS address appears elsewhere.
Keep a complete copy of the response and proof of when and how it was sent.
What this result cannot tell you
This tool cannot decide which document proves an item, prepare the response, or predict when the return or refund will finish processing.
This is a category, not a prediction.Optional, one-time
A deeper, notice-specific workbook you can print, mark up, and keep with the letter. Built for the 12C.
No professional reviews, approves, or personalizes this pack. It is general educational information, not advice.

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.
