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.
My mother (God rest her soul) worked at the IRS 40+ years ago in Atlanta. She would say that (on average)out of ten employees only two actually worked and did their job. I would jokingly ask is she was one of the two or eight. Being able to read and write were the only qualifications for getting a job and they let those slide occasionally.
