What This Notice Means
The CP3219A is a Statutory Notice of Deficiency, also called a 90-day letter. It's a formal notice that the IRS has determined there is a deficiency (underpayment) in your tax return, and you have 90 days to petition the Tax Court if you disagree. If you're unsure about your tax obligations or need to verify tax relief options, professional assistance can help clarify your situation.
