3 Ways to find out if you have an IRS tax problem

1.    Check your Mail

The IRS sends out a lot of mail. Including missing returns, balances due, yearly balance reminders and more. If you are not getting any mail, either you don’t have an IRS tax issue or they don’t have your address on file. If you believe you owe the IRS money and you aren’t receiving any mail, use either of the next two approaches.

2.    Go to IRS.gov



The IRS offers an online tool to each and every taxpayer. The IRS tool is a great way to research your account to determine the balances including interest and penalties. As well as any missing returns that you may have. It will also allow you to pull your account and wage and income transcripts.

The IRS service tool is very secure and will require certain information. To utilize the IRS online service, you'll need your social security number, date of birth, and your filing status (single, married filing jointly, etc.) as well as your most recent tax return's mailing address. You'll also need an email address and a phone number associated with your account. Finally, an account number from a mortgage or home equity loan, a car loan, or a credit card (not a bank card) in your name is required.

3.    Call the IRS

The IRS gives taxpayers the ability to call them on the phone, where a representative will assist on your case.

Individual taxpayers may call 1-800-829-1040, Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. local time.

Taxpayers representing businesses may call 1-800-829-4933, Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. local time.

One of the most common reasons people look for their IRS debt is that they believe they owe them money.
