I had a large typo-related letter audit once. It got sorted out. Eventually. Only took about ten hours of my time and a few months.
Dealing with the tax authorities is unsettling in part because their methodology is the opposite of what we are used to in American jurisprudence, where the burden of proof is on the accusing party, innocent until proven guilty, etc. In tax stuff, it flips: they accuse and the burden is on you to debunk the accusation.
