IRS Notice CP11
What It Means and How to Respond
If you’ve received IRS Notice CP11, the IRS is letting you know that it made changes to your tax return and now believes you owe additional tax.
This notice is typically sent when the IRS identifies a math error or discrepancy and adjusts your return. As a result, you’re left with a balance due even if you believed your return was accurate when you filed it.
▸ Why Did I Get a CP11 Notice?
You likely received CP11 because:
The IRS found a calculation error on your return
You didn’t report income the IRS has on file (like from a W-2 or 1099)
A credit or deduction you claimed was denied
You incorrectly reported your stimulus/EIP or child tax credit amounts
▸ What Does CP11 Include?
Your CP11 notice will show:
The original information you filed
The IRS’s corrections or adjustments
The amount you now owe
A due date for payment
Instructions on how to respond or dispute the notice
▸ What to Do If You Receive CP11
Don’t ignore it. The balance will accrue penalties and interest if not resolved.
Review the changes. Compare the IRS’s version of your return to what you filed.
Agree with the changes? You can simply pay the amount listed.
Disagree? You have the right to respond and dispute the changes. You may need to submit documentation.
