It’s a valid notice from the IRS.
also, I’m not the only taxpayer that the IRS sent the notice and didn’t include the form to fill out. Also, it appears as though the Form number they reference is a typo.
the best advice I received from TurboTax was just to file an amended return. When I asked how the software (which I’ve used for years) could’ve missed claiming my EITC, the rep said that I probably just missed it when I was doing my taxes. I place the odds on that as about zero to none.
we won’t be able to amend our taxes until the end of March as the IRS 1040x forms haven’t been issued yet.
im hoping we can we file these amended taxes electronically as all reports are that US Mail sent to the IRS is sitting around unopened for months and months due to Covid and understaffing thanks to Congress. What a mess.
