CP11 Notice: Additional Tax Owed After Corrections

What is a CP11 Notice and Why Did I Get It?

A CP11 Notice is a letter from the IRS informing you that they’ve made corrections to your tax return that resulted in an increase in the amount of tax you owe. This notice usually explains the specific changes the IRS made and how they affected your tax liability.

Okay, so you’ve gotten a CP11 Notice in the mail, and maybe you’re feeling a little confused (or maybe even a little panicked!). That’s totally understandable. Let’s break it down. Think of this notice as the IRS saying, “Hey, we’ve looked at your tax return, and there was something that needed a little adjusting. This adjustment means you now owe a bit more.”

Essentially, the IRS has reviewed your tax return, found a discrepancy, and made a correction. These adjustments are usually based on information they received from other sources, like your employer or bank, or because of a change they had to make because you made an error. It’s a formal way of the IRS letting you know the new balance that’s due.
