ninety-day letter

Read a random definition: noncumulative voting

A quick definition of ninety-day letter:

A ninety-day letter is a notice sent by the IRS to a taxpayer stating that they owe more taxes than they have paid. The taxpayer has 90 days to either pay the taxes or challenge the notice in tax court. This notice is also called a notice of deficiency, deficiency notice, or tax-deficiency notice. It is important to respond to this notice promptly to avoid further penalties and interest.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A notice of a tax deficiency sent by the IRS to a taxpayer, giving them 90 days to either pay the taxes or challenge the deficiency in tax court. This notice is also known as a notice of deficiency, deficiency notice, or tax-deficiency notice. If the taxpayer does not respond within the 90-day period, the IRS can begin collection actions.

For example, if a taxpayer receives a ninety-day letter stating that they owe $5,000 in back taxes, they have 90 days to either pay the amount owed or challenge the deficiency in tax court. If they do not respond within the 90-day period, the IRS can begin collection actions, such as garnishing wages or seizing assets.

Another example would be if a taxpayer receives a ninety-day letter but believes that the IRS made an error in their calculations. In this case, the taxpayer can challenge the deficiency in tax court and provide evidence to support their claim.

These examples illustrate how a ninety-day letter works and the options available to taxpayers who receive one.

9:45
I have not had a date change either for Mich but I've seen people get in without one so who knows
I applied 9/25 to like 6 schools and some (Houston) have no date change yet so dw
soapy
9:46
But do people get in without addresses going long?
WorthlessAttractiveZombie
9:46
it's tough to tell because a lot of people type out their addresses long to begin with
soapy

Ah. I didn't. Looking back, my Mich supplement kind of sucks, so there's that
Mich overrated (Dean Z please let me in even tho i didnt apply and I am below both 25ths)

The "date changes" at Michigan really don't mean anything. We had to do them in undergrad admissions whenever a Georgia applicant picked the country instead of the state, because we'd have to remove the TOEFL requirement and reassign the application from the international application readers.

Classy, does that mean they may look at your application, and that look doesn't necessarily trigger any date change?

What a good day to get into law school

@soapy: I don't know for sure about the law school. For undergrad, once the application is complete, it's assigned to a reader the following Monday. If we had to make any changes, it's because a reader saw something that needed to be changed and the application needed to be re-read after that change.
soapy

Ahh, got it. Thank you for the insight!

You're welcome. FWIW, I have no idea what's up with the address changes. We didn't have to do any of that, except for the Georgia state vs country kinds of things.

I've heard it theorized that some schools will change the address from "St." --> "Street" as they prepare to send out admissions packets. That's the rumor, anyways.
i think it just indicates a change in status like under review or stages of review
my stanford address went long as soon as it was marked complete lmao
soapy
10:25
I saw some Reddit adcom say that they can see any time we refresh the status checker; I wonder if it's a red flag if an applicant's checked it like 50 times in a day?
soapy
10:25
Also, can we send another LoR to a school that we've already applied to?
soapy
10:26
Or another essay?
10:30
i'll allow it
