If the IRS did not offer to correct your return then you need to file an amended return. 

TurboTax can guide you through this and has an option to connect to a Live Tax Expert if  needed. 

A CP12 Notice is issued  when the IRS corrects one or more mistakes on your tax return, and a payment becomes an overpayment, or an original overpayment amount has changed.

I received CP12 for Recovery Rebate Credit. How do I know what errors were found on taxes that were filed?
