Act now

← All IRS letters

What this letter means

The 30-day letter after an in-person audit. You can agree or appeal.

Why you probably got it

A field or office audit is wrapping up.

Your deadline

You generally have 30 days to agree or file a protest with Appeals.

What to do next

  1. Read the examination report closely.
  2. File a written protest by the deadline if you disagree.
  3. Get professional help for the protest.
Scam check: The IRS starts contact by mail. It will never demand payment by gift card, wire transfer, or cryptocurrency, or threaten immediate arrest. Pay only at IRS.gov or by check to the U.S. Treasury, and confirm any phone number at IRS.gov before calling.

This is general information, not legal, tax, or financial advice for your specific situation. Every case is different. Always check the dates and amounts printed on your own documents.
