CP11A Notice

amoltuli — Mon, 17 Jun 2019 03:33:00 GMT

I got IRS CP11A Notice. They claim I miscalculated my taxes on Line 15. But since line 15 is automatically calculated by Turbo Tax, why this discrepancy? There's a difference of $500 in what IRS claims my tax should be vs what Turbo Tax filled in my line 15. Taxable Income on line 10 is the same.

"They claim I miscalculated my taxes on Line 15." The IRS will use this terminology whether or not you made the calculation or a tax professional did or some software did.

If there is a difference on line 10, then of course there may be a difference on line 15. These Notices are sometimes hard to follow, but you want to find the first discrepancy between your entries and the IRS' corrections and then concentrate on that.

If after reviewing the letter and your return, you still don't understand the discrepancy, then please go visit the TurboTax Audit Support Center, and check out the helpful advice there.

Alternatively, you may respond to the IRS by telephone or mail. Please see "Understanding your CP11 Notice" at the IRS for more information.

Is this for 2018? Even though the taxable income on line 10 is right there are other kinds of taxes. Maybe you reported some income as other income instead of self employment income?

Or they reduced a credit you got. You need to check all the lines between 10 and 15. Call the IRS if you don't understand what they changed.
