How to Respond to IRS Letter 12C Efficiently
Steve Perry**150-Word Summary:** IRS Letter 12C is issued when a taxpayer’s return is missing essential information the IRS needs to process it—such as Forms W-2, 1099, 1095-A, or an incomplete Form 8962. This notice is not an audit but a request for clarification or documentation. Until the IRS receives the correct information, your return will be delayed, and any refund withheld. You have only 20 days to respond. Failing to reply or sending incomplete documentation can lead to denied credits like the Premium Tax Credit, further IRS notices, or audits. An Enrolled Agent (EA) like Steve Perry from Books, Taxes & More can help you interpret the notice, gather the correct documents, and communicate directly with the IRS to resolve the issue efficiently. With professional guidance, you can minimize delays and avoid further complications. Need help with a Letter 12C? Call Steve Perry, EA at Books, Taxes & More for trusted IRS representation.
