Dear [Recipient],
I am writing in response to the letter I received from the IRS dated on the [date]. I am sorry to say that I do not agree with the assertions made in this letter, and I would like to take this opportunity to provide more information and clarification on the matter.
The first issue I have with the letter is that it seems to rely on a misunderstanding of the facts. The IRS states that [copy the statement from the letter you received and explain why you think they have made a mistake, for example: I failed to report income from date, when in fact this income was reported on my tax return. Furthermore, this income was reported correctly and in accordance with all applicable laws.]
The second issue I have with the letter is that it seems to imply that I have committed some sort of wrongdoing. This is not the case - I have acted in good faith at all times and complied with all applicable laws.
I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss this matter further with a representative from the IRS. Please contact me at your earliest convenience so that we can arrange a time for this discussion.
Thank you for your time and attention in this matter.
Respectfully,
[Your Name]
