Before you respond, make sure you:
✔️ Verify the letter number and details
✔️ Double-check the amounts and personal information
✔️ Avoid calling numbers or scanning QR codes listed on suspicious notices
✔️ Contact the IRS directly using official IRS.gov resources
✔️ Reach out to a trusted tax professional if you’re unsure
