What We'll Do Once We Hear from You

We'll review the information you send us. If your information shows your return was correct, we won't make any changes to your tax return and we'll send you the EIC part of your refund. You won't need to do anything else.

If your information doesn't show your return was correct, we'll send you a report of changes we plan to make to your tax return and explain the tax you will owe. We'll also explain your right to appeal if you disagree.

Please allow us at least 30 days to review your information. After our review, we'll let you know by letter what we're going to do and explain your appeal rights if we propose changes.

Any EIC refund you claimed will be delayed while we review your information.

What Happens If You Don't Reply

If we don't hear from you within 30 days, you will not receive the EIC part of your refund.  We'll send you a letter and a report disallowing the tax return items we've questioned.  We'll explain how you can appeal if you disagree.

How to Get Help

You can only receive your EIC by mailing or faxing us the information we've requested.
