Nanny Tax Schedule H - didnt submit in 2023 and got an IRS letter today stating they applied payment. What next?

Hello All

 

I started doing my taxes with turbotax in 2023.  We have a nanny/household employee.  I pay her and taxes through a nannytax company.  

 

in 2023, I didnt know better and forgot to include "estimated payments" of almost 12K worth of taxes I paid into my household employee.  

 

In 2024, I asked some questions on this chat and found that I needed to include my quarterly payments and schedule H in box 26 of my 1040.  This obvioulsly made a different on my refund especially when its over 12K worth being paid out.  

 

I didnt even realize I didnt give myself that "deduction" in 2023 until I just got this letter.  It says that they are applying 4 payments (quarterly_ to my account but it doesnt say in the letter anything more about owing anything or a refund either.  When i logged into the irs website, it doesnt say anything about balance due or refund there either.    It just says that if i dont owe other taxes, penalties, interest, or legal obligations, they (IRS) is required to collect or they will send me a refund for overpayment within six to eight weeks.  

 

I guess im just really confused on what I am supposed to do next or what to expect since the letter gives me no other detail about what is owed or what is refunded.

 

Anyone experience this?  Thoughts?

 

Thx!
