IRS Notices & Letters

“I got a CP14 letter from the IRS, what is it about?”

High urgencyQuick Question · 30 min · $95

A CP14 letter is typically the IRS’s first notice showing that it believes a balance is due on a tax account. The details usually depend on which tax year is listed, how the IRS says the amount was calculated, and whether any payments, withholding, or estimated tax credits were already applied. These notices can also reflect interest or other charges that may have been added to the account. The wording in the letter, the tax form involved, and any recent filing or payment activity often help explain why the notice was issued. Going through your records with a CPA usually surfaces the answer in under an hour.
