What this means

The IRS thinks you may have earned income in 2025 that wasn't included on your tax return - possibly from a job, bank interest, or investment. They believe you owe an extra $412, including interest.

Key points
1. You have 30 days to respond - by August 31, 2026.
2. Doing nothing means the IRS will assume you agree and finalize the $412 charge.
3. You can agree and pay, or disagree and explain why with supporting documents.
What to do next

Fill out the Response form included with the letter. If you're unsure whether the IRS is right, a tax professional can help you check before you respond.
