Save IRS Letters & Save Some Aggravation

The Internal Revenue Service Center is sending taxpayers two letters in January 2022, known as letters 6419 & 6475. Taxpayers are to retain all IRS correspondence.

  • Letter 6419 identifies the Advanced Child Tax Payments that were distributed in 2021. 

  • Letter 6475 identifies the third stimulus amount that was distributed as the 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit.  Reporting the correct amounts is essential to smoother processing of 2021 tax returns.

Please note: The IRS will no longer be mailing out Letter 4869C- which would have had PIN numbers for all taxpayers on it allowing returns to be E-Filed. The IRS is encouraging taxpayers to go online to the IRS website and request a PIN Number – BUT it is not required.
