2022 – 02/09 The number of math error notices sent to taxpayers by the IRS increased exponentially in 2021, largely because of adjustments relating to the Recovery Rebate Credit (RRC). IRS data related to this fact was presented at a recent American Bar Association conference. Last year, there were nearly 14.6 million math errors reported compared to less than 1.3 million in 2020. Almost 11 million were related to the Recovery Rebate Credit, which eligible taxpayers can claim if they didn’t receive an Economic Impact Payment. The National Taxpayer Advocate recommended that math error notices explain in a simple manner why adjustments were made and inform taxpayers of their deadlines to request abatement.
