Letter from IRS that needs to pay tax due - K1

[Maria002 54]

Good morning. Yesterday my fiance (The petitioner) got a mail from IRS saying that  his taxes from 2016  were audited and that he should pay about 300$. He showed it to me and  they make it look like he didn't estimate correctly his income for that year.

I suggested he call the company he  hired to  declare his taxes for that year  and ask them why he got that debt (because he thinks he declared everything) . I am worried that if they commited some mistake for that year they could have  possible do it for thw following years too?

Also my fiance thinks that this could affect us in our K1 visa process - "Affidavit of support" (maybe at the interview if not before). 

I was wondering  what would be the best he can do in this case? Maybe just pay what he was asked to pay? should we consider something else?

I am really not very familiar with taxes. Thanks

Wouldn't it affect us if they see it  on the "Affidavit of support"?

It's not an item disclosed on the affidavit

No it will have no affect on the K-1. 

the only thing you disclose on the affidavit is your AGI for the tax year.
