What happened
The Internal Revenue Service tracks every dollar reported to it, including Social Security benefits, IRA withdrawals, and interest. The IRS provides a Wage and Income Transcript that lists who paid the income and the federal amounts reported. If a taxpayer's return does not match the reported income, a computer system may flag the discrepancy and a letter may arrive months later.

A mismatch between reported income and filed returns could result in added federal tax liability for the individual. This activity is part of broader IRS rules impacting how Social Security benefits are taxed and how Medicare premiums are adjusted.
