Just a PSA, the IRS recently instituted some kind of AI algorithm that is re-flagging a lot of things that have already been resolved... a friend got a bill for $1500 which they had earlier sent a letter of apology for. He doesn't actually owe anything, it's just the glitchy algorithm sending the old bill out again.
If you don't understand why you owe more, don't just give up and pay it. The IRS can make mistakes too.
