How long should I wait to contact IRS again for a IRS correction notice that I contested by phone? I called them on May 1 to provide the additional information. The IRS representative agreed that my numbers on our tax return were correct and she would change the IRS numbers (saying that we owed additional taxes) back to the numbers that I showed on our tax return. But there won?t be any written confirmation other than the direct deposit of a small refund that originally shows on our tax return (as evidence that our tax return is right). The payment due date on the correction notice is May 18, which is only several days away. Would there be any penalties if I contact them after May 18 if I haven?t received the refund by then (the corrective notice is dated 4/27 and the payment due date is
5/18)? Also, if I do get a refund as the only confirmation, do I need to send any written communication to them since I only talked to them on the phone and there are no written communications or confirmations? Thank you for your help in advance.- posted
