We received your Form 1040 income tax return for the year {YYYY} which shows a refund of {$ amount}. According to our records, you haven't filed your tax return(s) for the tax year(s) {YYYY}. We have reason to believe you will owe taxes for the unfiled year(s), therefore, we are holding your tax refund until you file your return or explain why you haven't filed. If you have filed the return(s), or if you aren't required to file them, please contact us. If you are required to file, please send the return(s) to this office at the address shown. You must respond within thirty days. If we don't receive your return(s) or an acceptable explanation for not filing by {MM-DD-YYYY}, we may prepare the return(s) for you based on the information we have, which may not be to your advantage. If you are already working with an IRS employee to resolve this matter, you should let that person know that your refund is being held. Otherwise, if you have any questions about this letter, please call our representative at the number shown above, or write to us at the address shown above. |
