IRS CP05A Notice - Action or not?

Post by 110JGD »

Hi guys
I've got a notice like that (http://www.irs.gov/pub/notices/cp05a_english.pdf) which is the second notice I get after the first one (CP05).

It seems like I need to send a bunch of documents to substantiate my return, but my tax consultant says I do not have to send anything at this point, just a generic letter and says he talked to IRS and they told nothing to send.

But from the notice and the IRS website (http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Understa ... 05A-Notice) it clearly says you need to send documents before a due date.

Any advise appreciated, couldn't find anything on that topic in these forums here.

I don't want to be denied my return because I did nothing !

Thanks!

Your tax preparer said he spoke to them. Did he? Then you are paying him for his advice.
After 20 years, I am severely cutting back on responses. Do not ask specifically for my help. There are a few others on this board that can answer most questions. All the best
