IRS CP 181- Missing Schedule or Form

IRS CP 181- Missing Schedule or Form

IRS uses CP181 to notify you that you have filed an incomplete return. The IRS will indicate what is missing from the return.

You must respond within 60 days from the date of the notice by telephone or mail indication either agreement or disagreement with the missing items

If you disagree, contact the IRS by mail, include a copy of the notice along with your correspondence or documentation. If you can't provide the IRS additional information that support that the information is not missing and the IRS believe the reversal is in error, it will be forward your case for audit. This step gives you formal appeal rights, including the right to appeal our decision in court before you have to pay the additional tax. After we forward your case, the audit staff will contact you within five to six weeks to explain the audit process and your rights. If you don’t contact the IRS within the 60-day period, you'll lose your right to appeal our decision before payment of tax.

If you don't contact us within 60 days, you must pay the additional tax before we will consider reversing the changes. You can then file a claim for refund. You must submit the claim within three years from the date you filed the tax return, or within two years from the date of your last payment for this tax.
