No one likes when the IRS reaches out to them. The agency is like that one neighbor you never liked as a kid who never got the hint and just kept coming over. Chances are, he’s gonna call today too. The IRS sends millions of letters each year to taxpayers who, quite frankly, don’t ever want to hear from them. And even though you don’t even want to listen to their voice, they have a whole lot of crucial stuff to say. So strap in and get ready for a somewhat boring but extremely important ride.

• You are due a larger or smaller return.
• The IRS needs to verify your identity.
