Two 6475 Letters To Same Taxpayer
Taxpayer received a 6475 letter dated January 12 showing an EIP of $1,400.
He filed a joint return in 2020 but his wife died in March 2020.
Then he received another 6475 letter dated January 26, with his first name misspelled, showing a $1,400 payment.
The first letter has a long string of numbers and letters above his name and a bar code below it. The second letter has neither of these.
He just brought this in last week and I haven’t been able to reach him to ask how many payments he received. I suppose it doesn’t make a difference, since he wouldn’t have to pay back a second one.
Just something that inspires more confidence in IRS. For those who endorse believing IRS notices before believing your client – maybe something to think about.
