    The IRS letter should tell you the reason why is was disallowed - what did it say?

    The letter said that there is an error on calculation on my from 8880 ( credit for retirement contribution) and I can not find the error. I redo my tax return two time and I have same amount of credit.

    The letter should tell you exactly what they thought was wrong.    If not then call the number on the letter for more information.     Nobody here can see your tax return to determine if there actually was an error of not.   The IRS does make mistakes.
