This is the time of the year in which we diligently accumulate and sort all of the documents that we’ll need to prepare our tax returns. You should also always review all of the data in each document to ensure that it’s correct, and that no information is missing or incorrect. As a general rule, it will be, but there are situations in which it’s not. Whoever provided you with that information has already sent a copy or transmitted it to the Internal Revenue Service. So now both you and the IRS are utilizing incorrect or missing information.
What action(s) should you initiate or what should you do in order to correct the problem(s) BEFORE you file your tax returns. In the worst case, you’ll have to file amended tax returns if the errors and mistakes cannot be promptly corrected. Who should you contact? What agencies should be contacted?
