This may result in an increase or decrease in your tax. The Notice of Deficiency explains how the amount was calculated and how you can challenge it in U.S Tax Court.

Your Options and Rights

• If you agree with the changes to the taxes owed the IRS, you may just sign the enclosed Form 5564, Notice of Deficiency – Waiver, and mail to the address shown on the notice.
• If you disagree with the tax assessment – you have the right to challenge the proposed changes by filing a petition with the U.S. Tax Court no later than the date listed on the notice. The Court can’t consider your case if the petition is filed late.
