Is that we have 60 days to reply to IRS on the above 2 notices which is not mentioned in both notices ?

Would like to ask further on the 60 days time frame to reply to IRS.

Is that I can postmarked it within 60 days ? Or the reply must reach them within 60 days ? Since it takes 1 month from US to mail to Malaysia, I afraid that my reply to them will takes 1 month to reach them also.

Kindly advise , Thanks

@leesm99pikl , I cannot categorically say that there is a 60 day response  required.  Most notices tell you  how many days you have to respond --- very often it is  90, sometimes 30.  Once a notice is sent out , date of the notice is on top right hand corner of page 1 of the notice, the clock starts  ( not when you receive it)  and if no response is received by the IRS by  the date required/stipulated, automatic  next level letter/notice will be sent out -- in most cases.   If you call them and ask for more time, often  they will grant an extension to reply  ( but if you own monies, the interest charges continue ).

 Does that answer you query ?

Thanks a lot on the prompt reply .

There is no response day required stated , only the date of notice .

Is difficult for me to call Malaysia as the line always cut off / hang on for very long time .

so, from your opinion is I still have time to reply to IRS as no response day required is stated ?

Thanks

@leesm99pikl , since you have difficulties contacting IRS by phone from your location,  you have two options  (a)  send in your response ASAP and with delivery confirmation if possible  ( don't ask for signature  because that will only delay things) -- keep record of your actions.; (b) if you are near an US embassy / consulate you can visit  the local IRS branch -- they often have such a branch especially there is lots of expats  in that country.  They are usually very helpful.  In any case just do the needful as soon as is possible.    I am assuming here that  you are disagreeing with the IRS' demands / position.  If on the other hand you agree  with position , then just pay and get it over with.  Note however, that   IRS is likely to look at yur returns  for the next three years  for compliance, especially if the amount due is large --  

I hope this helps
