Hi, my e-file (fed/state) was rejected due to the "wrong AGI" number. The IRS is disputing my 2019 returns. Mail in 2020 or file extension?

The IRS has sent a letter saying that it has found tax computation discrepancy in the 2019 returns (prepared by a CPA) and needs me to respond by 5/31. Have not spoken to the CPA yet due to the tax deadline of today.

The IRS is disputing my tax return 2020 done with TURBOTAX

IRS claims that my form 1040 line 15 should be $69,774 not $32,780  

Is the IRS right??  Should I pay $4,708??

@villamaria1980 No one else can see your tax return so we cannot know if the IRS is correct.  It sounds like the IRS sent you a letter.

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE IRS/STATE

TurboTax does not receive any information from the IRS or your state after your return was filed, so no one at TurboTax knows about a letter you received from the IRS or the state.

(what the letters from the IRS mean)

I GOT A LETTER FROM THE IRS

Line 15 is a total.  Can you tell which line above they adjusted?  Did you get any 1099R?   You might have got the wrong taxable amount on line 4b and 5b.  And if you get Social Security if they increase your income it can make more of ss taxable on line 6b.

Oh, if you got any 1099R it might be on the wrong line (4 or 5) so the IRS might think you didn't report it.  Can you figure out where the difference is?
