Do not ignore the letter, and do not rush the response
Tax letters can involve missing records, prior-year returns, income matching questions, payment notices, or Oklahoma Tax Commission requests. Start with the letter and the tax year involved.
- IRS letters
- Oklahoma Tax Commission notices
- Prior-year return questions
- Missing or matching income documents
Keep the full notice and related records together
The notice, envelopes, deadlines, tax year, and related income or business records can all matter. Normal email is not the right place for sensitive tax documents.
- The full notice or letter
- Tax year involved
- Prior-year return if available
- W-2s, 1099s, business, farm, or bookkeeping records related to the notice
