Indicate how long the IRS can take to propose changes to the income tax return in normal circumstances
After a Form 1120 or Form 1041 is filed with the IRS, | |
the IRS processes the return, by comparing items such as income, credits and deductions as reported on the return filed,so as to match them with relevant available with third party-records like banks. | |
and if any discrepancy is found by the IRS, | |
The IRS sends a Letter 2030 to propose changes to the figures mentioned in the submitted- return ,based on the discrepancy noted by it. | |
There is no need to file an amended return,but | |
only inform the IRS within 45 days ,whether we agree or disagree to the proposed change | |
We can either dispute or pay the taxes as mentioned. | |
If the tax is not contested within 90 days in any Court of Law, the IRS will send the bill for taxes to be paid (based on changes proposed)along with penelties/interest. | |
|
|
normally,IRS takes not less than 8 months to complete review of the returns filed--as they are able to receive third-party confirmations /informations only after end of tax years on Dec.31,from concerned parties. | |
So,it may take a time-frame anywhere, after these 8 months, for IRS to propose changes to the income tax return in normal circumstances--ie.in any case, not before 8 months, normally. |
