Amended return resulted in balance, but got two IRS notices

Forum|Forum|2 years ago

Hello!

I amended my 2021 joint return, but I got a notice from the IRS saying that I still owed around $30 (including interest).

1. I received two notices that look exactly the same and with the same amount due, but one is addressed to myself and another is to my wife. However, the last 4 numbers of the SSN on both notices are mine. Does that mean I have to pay both notices, or is it just a duplicate notice because I filed jointly and I only need to pay one?

2. The notice says that I can just mail a check with some information written on it. I don't need to fill out a whole new form as well, is that right?

Thank you!

It seems to me that you just got two notices and one was sent to your wife and one to you.

If you want to double check, I would go to your account online through the IRS and see what is showing due.

Here is the link to go to our account.

IRS account to view transcript, set up payment plan and make estimates Once you create your account, go to Tax Records, Get Transcripts, put in a reason, GO. Then you will see all of your transcripts. You can also set up a payment plan, and make estimated payments with your IRS account.

I sure hope this has been helpful.

If you reply back, I will try to keep an eye open to assist further.

Please give me a thumbs up if this was helpful.

If you filed a joint return, you are both liable for the amount IRS bills you.

It is better for the person listed on the notice (your SSN) to make the payment under their SSN.

Thanks for confirming @fanfare! I made the payment online using the account for the SSN listed on the notice.
