IRS advised social security income calculated wrong?

If you have received a letter from the IRS telling you that your income calculation was wrong then you can either 

a) pay the amount due on the notice or 

b) go into the system and make the changes to your tax return that the IRS letter says you should have made originally and see if the changes agree with what they are saying (they usually do).

Do you have an amount on 1040 line 6b or is it 0?  What usually happens is the IRS changed some other income on your return. Like the taxable amount of a 1099R you got or you missed entering some income. Like if a 1099R got entered on the wrong line 1040 line 4 or 5, the IRS would miss it and think you didn’t report it. By increasing your other income it made more of your SS taxable.

Or There is a new question this year asking if you lived in a foreign place. People have been answering it wrong or skipping it. Go back through the Social Security entries.
