UPDATE:

So I did that. I answered each item on the CP2501 and because there was
one minor difference, I attached a amended 1040X (which resulted in no
change in the tax, but did change my carry over amount to 2007
slightly). I sent that to the IRS by certified mail, return receipt. I
received the receipt back on Feb. 28 showing the IRS had received my
package.

Today I received a CP2000 notice saying that since I DIDN'T reply to the
CP2501 at all, I now owe $34,993.

Of course I called the information number and after waiting 45 mins.
actually got to talk to a live person who verified that they did indeed
receive my reply before Feb. 28 but it *was not forwarded* to the
examining department *until March 30* (the non-reply notice to me was
already in the works by then). They told me just to "ignore" the CP2000
notice and I should be hearing from an examiner within 30 days.

I am not holding my breath - I am waiting for the next letter saying
that I ignored this CP2000 letter and to pay up as now I owe $50,000
with interest an penalties.

Yes, it seems to be computer generated.

I have done that, but nothing stands out.

I tried that. The "call for assistance" number given (1-800-829-3009)
seems to be nothing more than a canned, (push 3 to hear...) FAQ. I
didn't find any way to actually talk to a human - in other words - a
useless waste of time.

If the items listed on the notice were properly reported as you
stated, perhaps there is something else that just isn't matching up
correctly. Also check the sum of your 1099B's, 1099DIV's &
1099INT's. Compare these numbers to the amounts reported on the IRS
notice.

That seems to me to be one of those computer generated matching
notices.
You have to go through it in detail to be certain what it is really
looking for.
Calling the number on the notice should shed some light on the
situation.

We received a CP2501 letter saying that the IRS received 7 1099-B
reports that were not included on our 2006 return.

The problem is that all 7 stock/mutual fund sales that they are
questioning _were_ included on our return in exactly the same amounts
that they are questioning.

Some of the entries on our return were a single line entry, some were
mutual funds with reinvested dividends that were split between long and
short term, and some were multiple entries using the FIFO method. In
all cases the total sales amount matches the amount reported on the
1099-B.

There were also many other sales in 2006 that we reported on the same
schedule D that the IRS is not questioning.

We did efile using TurboTax. It is almost like the IRS didn't receive
all of our Schedule D data -- is that possible???

How should I handle this? Attach a copy of our Schedule D and ask them
to look again?
