Why you received IRS Letter 2469C

  1. The IRS did not receive a tax return for the year in question.
  2. The IRS determined, based on information reported by others (employers, banks etc.), that you appear to have paid more in withholdings than would be required for the income reported.
  3. Letter 2469C was sent to notify you that you may be due a refund, provided a return is filed within three years of the original return due date.

Notice deadline: Three years from the return due date

If you miss the deadline: If you do not file a return within three years of the original return due date, you will not receive a refund for that tax year.
