NOTICE CP21

IRS Notice CP21 is a notice from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that informs you that they have made changes to your tax return. The notice will explain the changes that were made and the amount of tax that you owe as a result of the changes.

There are a number of reasons why you might receive an IRS Notice CP21. Some of the most common reasons include:

• You made a mistake on your tax return.
• The IRS received new information about your income or deductions.
• The IRS is auditing your tax return.

• If you disagree with the changes, you can contact the IRS to dispute them. You can do this by calling the number on the notice or by sending a letter to the IRS. If you dispute the changes, you will need to provide the IRS with documentation to support your claim.
