So if you know what you received, you need not await the letter or wait your turn to speak with an overworked IRS phone person.

I know nothing about tax law, nothing. My answer is based 100% on Google. Use at your own risk.

I think you are right — although I am not an accountant so the “use at your own risk” applies to my advice here, too. . .

Anyway, I turned tax stuff in to our accountant last week. Three days later those IRS letters arrived.

But there had been a place for the amount on the checklist the accountant sends us every year.

I had picked up the amount from our checking account statement and I am guessing that was all we needed.
