Letter from IRS

[Finance Dave]

For the first time in a long time, I did my own taxes this year via TurboTax. I recently got a letter from the IRS saying...

We received one of the following items from you or your authorized third party on April 23rd, 2025. (I filed in mid February)
* Correspondence
* Telephone inquiry
* Payment
* Form
* Response to our inquiry or notice
* Penalty abatement request
* Installment agreement
* Other

I did get a slightly larger refund than I submitted for, as the IRS said that they calculated my refund differently than me and gave me the higher amount (about $120).

The letter said no action is required on my part, and that they would send me a complete response within 90 days.

Anyone have any idea whether this is something to be concerned about? I'm thinking it's a big nothingburger.

I agree, probably a nothingburger but still a bit odd.

Did you previous tax preparer mistakenly file something on your behalf?

IRS seems "unconcerned" and they find in your favor. SO, I think I'd just wait 90 days and see what else they send. YMMV

 

[Car-Guy]

Nothing to fear. It's just the IRS and they are here to help.

Trust me, you'll know when you're in trouble. This letter doesn't sound like trouble but I suppose I could be wrong and YMMV.

Sleep well for 90 days. Then , sleep even better.
