CP3500 Notice Claims No Record of My 2022 Tax Return Despite Filing and Amending

Hey, I can help explain what's going on with your CP3500 notice. A CP3500 is typically sent when the IRS needs additional information to verify income or deductions from your amended return. The key is understanding exactly what they're questioning. I'd strongly recommend using taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) to analyze both your amended return and the CP3500 notice - it'll give you a clear breakdown of what the IRS is looking for and the fastest path to resolution. From what I've seen, it's been super helpful for folks dealing with amended return complications.

Tax pro here. CP3500 is an examination notice, meaning the IRS wants to review certain items on your return. Even though you amended, they might need additional documentation. Don't panic - this is pretty common with amended returns. You'll need to respond within 30 days with the requested info.

Hey just wanted to mention - I was totally lost with my transcript too until I found taxr.ai. It's this tool that reads your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening and what to do next. Worth the $4.99 tbh. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai

in the same boat rn. amended in March and got this notice last week. this whole process is str8 garbage 🤮

Check your account transcript not just the notice. Sometimes theres more info there that explains why they sent it.

Called IRS about this exact thing yesterday. 2hr wait just to get hung up on 🤡

Bruh these notices are getting out of hand. Anyone else feel like the IRS is just throwing darts at a board to decide who to mess with? 💀

Ugh, I feel your pain! Had a similar situation last year where they claimed no record of my return even though I had confirmation it was processed. Turns out there was some weird glitch in their system where amended returns weren't properly linking to the original filing. Had to send in copies of EVERYTHING again - original return, amendment, all supporting docs. Took like 3 more months to sort out but they eventually found it. Definitely respond to that notice within 30 days though or it gets way worse. Maybe try calling the practitioner priority line if you can get someone to help - regular customer service is useless for this stuff.

This happened to me too! CP3500 notices are SO confusing especially when you know you filed. From what I've learned, sometimes the IRS sends these when there's a mismatch between your original return and amended return data in their system. Even though your amendment was "accepted" online, it might not have fully processed or linked correctly to your original filing. The good news is this doesn't mean you have to start completely over - you just need to provide documentation proving you filed. I'd gather copies of your original 2022 return (with filing confirmation), your 1040X amendment, and any supporting docs you changed. Send certified mail with return receipt so you have proof they received it. Also definitely call them at that number on the notice rather than the general line - you'll get someone who can actually look at your specific case. The wait times still suck but at least they'll have your file pulled up already. Hope this helps! 🤞
