You may not need to do anything right now, but I do have several things for you to look at.

Was this a Federal (IRS) or State notice?
Do you have a copy of your tax return?
Did they give a description of what the revision was for?
Does it make sense?
What dollar amount did the revision change from the original?

Please contact us again with any questions, and provide some additional details.

Hello,

This was a state notice from the FTB.

I do have a copy of my tax return.

The revision was for CA Income Tax Withholding.

It does not make sense.

The difference between is $947 - $247.

It sounds like the FTB got a copy of an income form for you (W-2, 1099, whatever) that had a different amount for withholding than what you reported on your tax return. Or possibly an employer or a pension plan sent them a different amount of money than what your W-2 or 1099 reported.

In looking at the letter, is there any hint as to which form (W-2,. 1099, etc) they are referring to? You can't start investigating until you know which form they are complaining about.
