In late August, the IRS made waves by announcing automatic penalty relief for late-filed returns. This is for tax years 2019 and 2020, which must be filed before a revised deadline to qualify, but the relief is automatic and applies to several returns, including personal 1040s and several corporate forms, such as 1120 and 1099s.

This week we continue our look at common IRS letters and notices. Letter 525, sometimes called the 30-day letter, is a notice of proposed adjustment to your return. It is called a 30-day letter because you only have a 30-day window to respond to it.
