Common Questions About CP1403
- Is a CP1403 the same as an audit?
- No. A CP1403 is a document request to verify specific credits (like EITC, Child Tax Credit, or education credits). An audit is a broader examination of your entire return. The CP1403 is narrower and usually resolved by sending the requested documents.
- What documents should I send?
- The notice will specify exactly what's needed. For EITC, this typically means school records, medical records, or lease agreements proving residency. For education credits, it means Form 1098-T and tuition receipts. Send copies, not originals.
