Examination Notices
Understanding IRS Notices.
The IRS has increased its scrutiny of R&D tax credit claims reported on Form 6765 and Schedule 3800. If you’ve received an IRS Notice of Examination, Letter 566, or an Information Document Request (IDR), this likely means the IRS has flagged your credit claim for further review either due to missing documentation, aggressive credit amounts, your company SIC code, or random selection.
These notices are the first formal step in an examination process that may morph into a full blown audit process and often request detailed records, including project descriptions, time-tracking, payroll records, expense calculations, and substantiating technical documentation. Failing to respond properly can lead to full or partial disallowance of the credit, and in some cases, IRS imposed penalties or interest.
Common Examination Triggers You Might See:
IRS Notice of Examination
A formal audit initiation letter typically referencing a specific tax year and Form 6765.
Letter 566 or Letter 915
Issued to initiate correspondence audits, especially for small- to mid-sized businesses.
Information Document Request (IDR)
Detailed requests for support documentation often includes deadlines and multi-item questionnaires.
Form 6765 Scrutiny
Any mention of Form 6765 in your notice means your R&D credit is the specific focus of the audit.
