I have been sent a letter from IRS saying I have a deficiency from 2017 and owe them money, unless I send a petition to US Tax Court. What do I do?

What do I need to do?

If you agree, sign the Form 5564 and return it to us in the envelope provided.


Do I need to file a petition with the U.S. Tax Court?


No, you may be able to resolve your dispute with the IRS. Mail any additional information you may have with the Form 5564 or provide a signed statement, along with any documentation, explaining which items you disagree with and why. Send your response as soon as possible since we can't extend the time you have to respond or file a petition with the U.S. Tax Court.


 


What if the information is wrong or if I disagree?

If you want us to consider additional information, send it to us, along with a written explanation supporting your position. You can also call us at the phone number on the first page of the notice.


You may want to contact whoever reported the information and ask them to correct it. You should send your response to us as soon as possible, since we can't extend the time you have to file a petition with the U.S. Tax Court.


The information is wrong because someone else is using my name and social security number. What can I do?

You can complete and send to us Form 14039, Identity Theft Affidavit.  You also can go to our identity theft information webpage to find out more about what you can do.

I have gone to the website and understand the notice. What I don't understand is what specifically I'm supposed to send, or do otherwise, to help my case. I've never experienced this before.
