Several taxpayers have contacted Action 9's Jason Stoogenke and said they have received a letter in the mail that looks like it is from the IRS, but they are unsure about it and do not want to get caught scammed.
Turns out the letter is legal, according to Action 9's Jason Stoogenke.
The government has issued three federal coronavirus relief checks, two of them last year. If you didn't get any, or didn't get the right amount (or it's too little), you can claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on your 2020 tax return.

If the IRS thinks you were wrong, it may have sent you a letter. The letter says the agency "changed" the amount you are asking for and lists possible reasons, such as you made too much money last year or your children were too old to receive federal financial aid for the connection. with coronavirus.
The letter says that if you disagree with this decision, call or write to the IRS and give your taxpayer identification number (which may be your social security number).
“All this information, all this personal data, can be stolen and done with whatever they want,” Jeri Lowery said. She was one of those who received the letter.
“I just wanted to know if you had any information about this, was it a scam or was it a real letter from the IRS?” she asked Stoogenke.
If you want to call the IRS, make sure you are calling the correct number: 800-829-0922. The letter says you have 60 days from the date you filed your appeal, or you can file a claim in federal court.
