I/we received the same type of letter. We checked all of the boxes stating we dispute the claim and sent along all of the necessary information. Now the dumb part, mistakemly we also signed the dang thing…is this a serious mistake?

If I understand what you wrote, your ex-wife did something illegal. Send a photocopy of your divorce decree with your response to the IRS. Highlight in yellow the portion that says you get to claim your daughter. Send it certified. Let your ex deal with the fallout.

I got this letter one time too and I as well almost wet my pants. Can I ask someone a question though? I filed my taxes on ExpressTaxRefund.com on Feb. 13th, when should I be expecting my refund?

I just have a question… hopefully someone knows. I received one of these and marked the option 3 on the letter and sent back. Since I sent it in I have not recieved any additional letters or contact at all. So I have proof that they had mistaken the years… But I am not sure if no response is a good response or if I should get some form of notification. So now when i file my current taxes… i am worried that if there was something wrong then, i would not recieve the money they owed to me for 2009. Im concerned.. if anyone could help i would appreciate it.

Got one of these letters today, Dec. 2009. Claiming some adjustment to my 2007 returns. I was able to call the number listed and talk with one of the IRS people and after informing him that it was the IRS that missed my deduction…..he agreed (NOW I’m frighten). He stated that a letter or cancellation/form would be forward to be in 4 weeks……but this is where they get you…The letter that I got from them states that I must respond to this letter using the form send to me, by them by Jan. 2010, way less then the 4 week cancellation form I’m suppose to get from them..so I think, telephone conversation or not, I’m going to send their form back marked Option # 3 I DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY OF THE CHANGES, I enclosed documentation to support the entries on my original returns.

Yeah. I’ve never encountered the IRS since I’ve never left the Vault.

We got one of these last year in reference to our 2006 return. It turns out I had reported the wrong W-2 income (used 2005 instead of 2006, not sure how I did that).

Once I figured out the problem, I responded to the IRS with a copy of the correct W-2 as well as what I thought I owed. They agreed and because it was an honest mistake and I responded promptly (and paid the agreed amount), they waived the penalties.

Note that, generally speaking, anything that affects your federal return will probably affect your state return as well. I filed an amended state return and got back a whopping $8
