“What should I do if I got a CP14 notice from the IRS?”

High urgencyQuick Question · 30 min · $95

A CP14 notice usually means the IRS believes there is a balance due, and the details in the notice matter more than the label alone. The response often depends on whether the amount matches your records, whether a return was filed on time, and whether penalties or interest are included. It can also help to review any payment history, prior correspondence, or notices that may explain why the balance appeared. If the notice seems unfamiliar, incomplete, or tied to a filing issue, the account transcript and notice language often provide the next clues. Going through your records with a CPA usually surfaces the answer in under an hour.

In your 30-minute session, the KGOB advisor handling it will:

  • Read your exact situation and tell you, in plain English, what’s actually going on.
  • Lay out your options and the trade-offs — no jargon, no judgment.
  • Give you a clear next step you can act on, whether that’s with us or on your own.
