IRS Notices & Letters
“Why did the IRS send me a CP14 notice, and what do I do?”
A CP14 notice is generally the IRS’s first formal balance-due notice, and it often appears when a return shows tax owed but the account still has an unpaid amount. The details that matter most are the tax year involved, whether the notice matches a filed return or an estimated payment issue, and whether any penalties or interest are included. In many cases, the notice is a recordkeeping and account-matching issue, but it can also reflect a payment timing problem or a return processing mismatch. Reviewing the notice carefully and comparing it with prior filings and payment records often helps clarify the next step. Sitting down with a CPA for thirty minutes is usually enough to draw a clean line on this.
