I just received a letter from the IRS stating that a return from 2 years ago has been rechecked, I had made a mistake, and now owe the IRS $600.
I looked back at my return, and sure enough, I had made a mistake. Strangely enough, that mistake had precipitated another mistake where I claimed the wrong amount on a deduction and when I refigured, I only owe them $200.
I want to call them today and get it sorted out, but I'm not sure if I'm going to be walking into possible pitfalls. Should I negotiate with them myself, or should I get a CPA in my corner?
