Abby Normal Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 Just got an email from the IRS about a notice, that I can log into my account and download. I like it! The Post Office is going to take a big hit if the IRS stops mailing many notices. Of course, I could still be getting a mailed notice. Or if I pay the notice quickly enough, they won't? Brave new world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee B Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 "The IRS never initiates contact with taxpayers by email, text or social media regarding a bill or tax refund. As a reminder: Never click on any unsolicited communication claiming to be the IRS as it may surreptitiously load malware."

Abby Normal Posted October 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 That's no longer true. It was a legit email and there was a notice for me to download. I may have opted for this on my account. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jklcpa Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 Are there links or only a mention of logging into your official account? I don't like this because people may receive similar looking scam emails and could innocently go to a website ending in .com or .net instead of the official .gov site. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NECPA in NEBRASKA Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 I can't imagine the grief if all of our clients start getting emails from them after telling them for years "not to open them". It will be open season for scammers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee B Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 Several quick online searches suggest that this may be available to tax professionals only??? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was for me personally, but I think you might be right that it's because I'm also a pro. https://www.irs.gov/payments/your-online-account Access Tax Records View key data from your most recently filed tax return, including your adjusted gross income, and access transcripts View information about your Economic Impact Payments View information about your advance Child Tax Credit payments View digital copies of certain notices from the IRS Here is the setting in my IRS account: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abby Normal Posted October 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 I see a paper copy of the notice is arriving today. That's probably for the best or even required by law, but I've already handled it, so I can just shred the notice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
