Dear James B & Patrice L Comey Jr.:

Your federal income tax return for the year shown above was selected at random for a compliance research examination. We must examine randomly-selected tax returns to better understand tax compliance and improve the fairness of the tax system. We’ll give you the opportunity to explain any errors we may find during the examination.

Employee ID number:

The results of this and other compliance research examinations will improve our efforts to help taxpayers understand and follow the tax law. It will also reduce unnecessary and costly examinations, and reduce burden on taxpayers. Please read the enclosed Notice 1332, Why Your Return is Being Examined.

Please call me on or before November 26, 2019. You may contact me from 8:00AM – 3:30PM at the telephone number provided above.

Someone may represent you

You may have someone represent you during any part of this examination. If you decide you want representation, the representative you authorize will need a completed Form(s) 2848, Power of Attorney and Declaration of Representative, before we can discuss any of your tax matters.
