A: If the letter doesn't apply to you, you probably can disregard it. What does the letter say?
A: I never like to advise anyone to disregard a letter from the IRS. If the letter completely does not apply to you, it may be best to respond with a response letter or a phone call. Sometimes receiving letters from the IRS that indicates the IRS thinks you have a circumstance that you don't really have (like the IRS thinking you have a business you don't have) can be an indicator of identity theft or an error in IRS records that could cause problems for you later. I would suggest finding a tax attorney you can speak with, maybe one who would be willing to do a free consultation, to review the letter and talk to you about the best way to handle it.
