Several friends and clients have told me that they have received IRS Letter 2645C and don't know what to do. The letter says, in part 

"Thank you for your inquiry of (date).

We-re working on your account. However we need an additional 60 days to send you a complete response on what action we are taking on your acc ount. We don't need any further information from you right now.

If you have questions you can call or write, etc.

None, nor I on their behalf, submitted any questions or requestsf, etc to the IRS. They have all received a refund, or paid taxes due, for the year in question.

Any ideas on what this is all about?

So they respond to nonexistent letters but don't respond to real ones. This tax season is just so wonderful so far.


The more I know the more I don’t know.

I don't know about your case, but I have seen numerous of those letters after a taxpayer signed a request for transcript from the IRS.  This might not have been for their own benefit, but for a mortgage or other purpose.  I hope it is not fradulant.

Some of my business clients also received erroneous letters, for example where they said the return wasn't filed when it was. Obviously it sounds like they have issues. Just my opinion

FYI I called several days and kept getting disconnected after waiting for 30 minutes or more. I have instructed my clients to ignore the letters until the IRS sends something with more detail.
