They will confirm amounts from the forms they tell you to have on hand ... it is an open book test and there is nothing you cannot answer if you have the forms listed on hand ... they want the return YOU filed ... how could you possibly know what someone else filed ?
Have the following available when you call:
- The 4883C letter
- The income tax return referenced in the letter (Form 1040, 1040A, 1040-EZ, 1040-PR, 1040-NR, etc.). Note: A Form W-2 or Form 1099 is not a tax return.
- A previous year’s income tax return, other than the year in the letter (Form 1040, 1040A, 1040-EZ, 1040-PR, 1040-NR, etc.). Note: A Form W-2 or Form 1099 is not a tax return.
- Supporting documents that you filed with each year’s income tax return (Form W-2 or Form 1099, Schedules C or F, etc.).
