IRS Notice CP12: Correction Resulted in Overpayment

IRS CP12 通知是什么意思？

A CP12 notifies you that the IRS corrected one or more errors on your return and, as a result, you are due a refund (or a larger refund than you claimed). The notice explains the changes and the new refund amount. This is generally good news and usually requires no action.

您为什么会收到 CP12？

The IRS adjusted a miscalculation, a credit, or a reported figure in your favor — for example, correcting a math error or applying a credit you were entitled to but computed differently.

如何回应 CP12 通知

If you agree with the correction, you do not need to do anything; the refund should arrive within a few weeks if you have no other debts that offset it. If you disagree with the IRS's changes, contact the agency within 60 days to dispute and provide documentation supporting your original figures.

如果忽视会发生什么？

Nothing negative happens if you agree — the refund is issued automatically. However, if the IRS's correction is actually wrong and you wait beyond 60 days, restoring your original numbers becomes more difficult.
