Alert: IRS says it sent wrong balance-due notices
08/4/2022 Tags: Announcements, In the News
The IRS admitted that some taxpayers are getting inaccurate balance-due letters, referred to as CP-14 notices.
According to the agency, the IRS hasn’t correctly applied some payments joint filers made for their 2021 tax returns.
Here’s what the IRS recommends you do if you get a notice:
- If you know you paid all the tax you owned on your 2021 return, don’t respond to the notice.
- If you didn’t pay all of your taxes owed, you should either:
- Pay the remaining balance.
- Ask the IRS for an installment agreement as spelled out in the direction of the CP-14 notice.
- Call the IRS to ask for more payment alternatives.
- If you don’t know whether or not you paid all you owed, check your online account.
The IRS says it will automatically adjust any penalties and interest.
