What is IRS Letter 6475?
This is where the new IRS letter — officially known as Letter 6475 — comes in. The letter will include information about your third stimulus check and any plus-up payments you got so you can put accurate numbers on your tax return. For this reason, the IRS news release recommends not throwing Letter 6475 away.
“People receiving these letters should keep them,” it adds. “These letters can help taxpayers or their tax professional prepare their 2021 federal tax return.”
The IRS also began sending out letters in December concerning the child tax credit. Letter 6419 includes information about how many qualifying kids your family has and, if applicable, the amount you received in advance payments. Hang on to this note, too — you’ll need it for your taxes.
