What does my IRS letter mean?
Pick your notice number — or describe what the letter says — and see what that notice is, what to bring, and how long is left on the date printed on it. Everything in English or Spanish.
No sign-up, no email, and nothing to submit. There is no place here to type a Social Security number or an ITIN — and there should not be. What you pick stays in your own browser.
Step 1
Find your letter
The notice number is in the top right corner of the first page.
This tool is general information about what IRS notices mean. It is not tax advice about your situation, it does not read your letter, and it cannot tell you what you owe. Your own notice, and the date printed on it, always govern.
