I've sent my tax return twice by mail and e-file and I now have a letter from the IRS

[hatcherhite123]

I recently received a letter from the IRS concerning my tax return for the year 2019. The letter states:

"Our records show you have filed two tax returns for the tax period ending Dec. 31, 2019. We received one of them on May 11, 2020, reporting $.00 tax. We received the other on Sep. 01, 2020"

Please submit all supporting documents to support your change to other income line 8 of your 1040 US Individual Income Tax Return and allow time for processing."

I do remember sending one in the mail after I submitted one from Turbo Tax thinking it had not gone through. There was no change on line 8 for either of those documents.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

we have bo access to those returns. therefore, I suggest the use of a tax pro or

The Audit Defense service is provided by TaxResources, Inc., also called TaxAudit.com, in partnership with TurboTax. If you paid for Audit Defense and you received an IRS notice, call TaxResources, Inc. at 877-829-9695, or report your IRS notice on their website at http://intuit.taxaudit.com/. Do not contact the IRS until you have spoken to TaxResources. They may contact the IRS on your behalf.

Not sure how TurboTax can help. You would have to get clarification from the IRS.

Always print a copy of your completed tax return for your records, and review it carefully before e-Filing.
You will need it if you are audited by the IRS, or to amend if a TurboTax update changes your return or for any other reason,

AND, to find your AGI next year.

--

If you did not follow this rule you can go to the IRS website to get a transcript of your tax return.

You have to determine what is the correct amount of taxable income in the "Other Income" category.

Then inform the IRS, along with any documentation to confirm your numbers.

Then allow time for processing.

IRS is very much backed up with returns that have to be reviewed.

Thanks for the reply. There has been no change that I can see on the other income line 8 so not sure what documents I need to send.

You have something on line 8 so send the supporting documents explaining/supporting that line entry.  Call the number on the notice if you have further questions since you are not being audited just reviewed and they asked for information from you.  Comply ASAP.
