So We Sent You a Letter

The letter you received from the Office of State Tax Commissioner will explain why you were contacted and will give you instructions if you need to do anything. If there are no instructions, you don’t need to do anything.

Why Would the Office of State Tax Commissioner Send Me a Letter or Notice?

We send letters for the following reasons:

• You have a balance due.
• We have a question about your tax return.
• We need to verify your identity.
• We need additional information.
• We changed your return.

If the letter you received mentions Collections, see more details about our payment options.

If the letter directs you to use our website to electronically respond to the letter or to provide additional information, 
complete the Respond to a Letter request on Taxpayer Access Point (TAP).
