IRS Notice CP22A-I Return Error

IRS uses Notices CP22A-I notify you of changes to your return. The most common Notices are the CP22A & CP22E but the IRS also uses CP22I as well.

The Notice CP22A is typically used for changes in filing status or dependency exemptions while Notice CP22I notifies you of changes to your return(s).

If you wish to contest this through the IRS administrative agency you have 60 days to file an Appeal. This is an inexpensive but a very slow process. You can also file a claim for refund.

If your issue is simple, then an IRS Appeal would likely be best. But, if the issues are fact intensive or complicated, filing a claim for refund may be better because the US District Court or Court of Claims will have jurisdiction with inherent Equitable powers to protect you from the IRS.

You need to reviews the items listed on the Notice CP 22 to determine if the items listed are in fact correct. CP 22’s are often wrong and the items are listed on the return. Sometimes the description of items is different enough to be picked up in the matching process.

The CP 22 is not a bill and nor an audit. It is a proposed adjustment due to issues with the return. Sometimes the information supplied to the IRS is in error.

The IRS could still audit you as a result of your response.

Be extremely careful in how you respond. The information supplied can either make matters better or extremely worse. You are supplying information that will be review by a Compliance Officer. That person’s job is to verify that the information supplied resolves the outstanding issues listed on the CP 22. The Compliance Officer can easily make an audit referral if he or she believes the information creates more concerns than it explains.

The usual method of handling a Notice CP22 is to either: 1) respond in writing to the IRS at the address listed on the notice, or 2) file an amended return addressing the items questioned by the IRS in the Notice CP 22.

We typically file an amended return since that initiates a process the IRS must follow. Letters, are often misinterpreted or lost by the IRS. Warning- filing an amended return starts new limitations periods for audits, collections, bankruptcy, etc. So carefully weigh your options!
