Each year the IRS sends millions of letters and notices to clergy. Although some clergy may feel anxious when they receive one, many are easy to resolve. Here’s what to do if you receive a letter or notice from the IRS: Don’t panic. Follow the instructions in the letter. There are many reasons the IRS sends notices to taxpayers. The notice usually covers a specific issue about your account or tax return. It may request payment of taxes, notify you of a change to your account or ask for additional information. If you receive a notice about a correction to your tax return, you should review it carefully. You usually will need to compare the information in the notice to the entries on your tax return.
