So confused... Got CP2000A where it states that I incorrectly reported proceeds from stock sales. IRS says I reported $5527 in sales for a stock X, but they got info from a third party that I got $5550, so I actually had $23 in additional income and taxes are due (this is just one example with tiny difference, but there were 7 other inconsistencies with larger claimed differences).
I went into my 8949 form and I actually reported correctly $5550 in proceeds and $5527 was cost basis. Checked Etrade and the numbers are correct. My 8949 form is correct, but somehow IRS is claiming I said $5527 were my proceeds while it clearly shows I stated $5550. Somehow someone or something is pulling numbers from a wrong column...
Of course I will send a letter pointing all this out, but I feel like that maybe I am missing something? Just feels so bizarre!! Am I not seeing something or is IRS
I added a picture showing actual numbers for one line.
