It's IRS letter season apparently. In the past week, we've received several calls regarding IRS notices being received by clients. These notices are automatically generated by the computers.
The particular notice is a CP53E notice. (Upper right hand corner)
It asks you to verify your banking information.
Please do not panic. If you insisted on receiving a check for your refund, rather than direct deposit, the IRS wants you to update your bank information on your IRS online account. If you dont wish to do this, a paper check will be issued, later.
If you had a balance owed, these letters are going out as well. Please check your bank and verify the withdrawal was made. The computers will talk to each other and most of these notices will self correct.
