I hate when this happens. IRS has been known to make mistakes.





Your tax preparer should help you with this. Double check to make sure your SSN is correct. If not, send an amended return to correct the SSN and that should remove the assessment. If it is correct, send them a letter stating that all info is correct and there is no changes to the tax return. Then wait for their response.





Or, as a previous answerer stated, take all pertinent info to an IRS office and show the proof.





Good Luck to you.Problem with 2007 taxes. advice needed?
The IRS compares the number, your name and (if efiled), your date of birth.





One common problem is for newly married women to have mismatch between the name they have with social security and the name they used on the tax return. If this is the case, update it with the SSA, wait at least 10 days (to give the SSA time to send the updates to the IRS) and then call the IRS.





Another common problem is with hispanic names. If your name is Jose Garcia Lopez, the computer program may try to compare Lopez from the SSA records with Garcia from the tax return and will mistakenly get a mismatch. This can be fixed by calling the IRS. (Yes, it's a pain. Imagine an hispanic family where all have Garcia Lopez and *one* child gets a mismatch every year.)
First, check your social security card and compare that information to the information on your tax return. Then check to see if the social security number (SSN) is correct on any information returns sent to the SSA (Social Security Administration) or IRS by people who paid you wages or interest or anything else (W-2's and 1099's). If you electronically filed your tax return (from what you describe, I suspect you did not), your birth date also has to match. What ';tax place'; did you call? Your preparer or the IRS? The letter from the IRS should give you the details of the changes, if any, to the tax return.





I suspect, but do not know, the problem is the SSN on a W-2 is not correct and the IRS is missing some $1300 or $1500 in income tax withholding from your account because it was reported by the employer under an SSN that is not the same as yours. If that is the case, your employer will have to issue a W-2c to correct that error and also get your social security and Medicare records updated. This document, like the W-2 goes to the Social Security Administration rather than the IRS, so the IRS is not the place to try to get this corrected until you have the W-2c (they get their information from the SSA and - at this time, may not be able to access the W-2 information directly.
Take your bill and a copy of your return to your nearest IRS office and see if the representative there can sort out the problem.
