The CP210 notice is sent by the IRS to inform taxpayers that adjustments have been made to their tax account, usually due to corrections made on their tax return or payment discrepancies. This notice provides details about the changes and their impact on the taxpayer’s balance.

Key points in CP210:

The notice explains the nature of the adjustments made, whether it be correcting errors, updating payments, or applying credits.
It specifies whether the taxpayer now owes a balance, is due a refund, or has a zero balance.
Taxpayers should review the notice and verify that the adjustments made by the IRS are correct.

Receiving CP210 helps taxpayers stay informed about changes to their tax account and ensures that any necessary actions are taken to address outstanding balances or claim refunds.
