Understanding Your Letter 6470

What this letter is about

This letter provides more information about your right to appeal a change we made to the amount of the Recovery Rebate Credit on your 2020 tax return. The change was due to a calculation or eligibility error or a taxpayer identification number error for you, your spouse, or one or more of your dependents. We previously sent you a CP 11, 12, or 13 notice explaining the change, but that notice did not properly explain your appeal rights.
