What the letter says

The IRS corrected a math or clerical error and your refund changed, up or down. If it went down, the notice explains what changed.

The 60-day rule

Same as the CP11: if you disagree, write within 60 days to have the change reversed and keep your appeal rights.

Agree

Nothing to do. The corrected refund is issued.

What to gather

  • The notice with the explanation of the change
  • Your return as filed
  • The document supporting the figure you reported

Write back

The CP14 response letter tool builds the response in the order the IRS reads it. Fill it in, review it, print it, and send it with copies of the documents above and the notice stub on top.

Before you send anything

This is general information, not tax advice. Situations differ. Check with your tax advisor before you send anything. Nothing on this page creates a client relationship.
