Certified Letter From Irs Good News. If you were in an audit you feel went well, it could be good news. The irs will not send these notices by email or contact you by phone.
This irs letter also serves as the first notification that they plan to take funds from a bank account. If you have not filed all your taxes returns or if you were claimed as a dependent and you had earning and the earning were not reported by your parents then you need to file a federal tax return. The irs sends out millions of letters to taxpayers across the country every year.
Some irs notices are sent via certified mail, such as the notice of intent to levy, while others are mailed via regular post, like changes made to your tax return.
More importantly, you could ask for redelivery if you're going to be home when your carrier comes 'round. It also can happen before the irs files a lien or assigns a revenue officer to visit you, unannounced at your home or business. The internal revenue service is often billed as a scary entity, and if you receive any correspondence from the irs it can instantly induce panic attacks. So, i come home today to find an orange slip that says i missed a certified letter.
