CP 523 – Notice Of Intent To Levy – Defaulted On Installment Agreement
When you receive a CP 523 notice…
This means that you have failed to make a payment on the formerly arranged installment agreement and now the IRS intends to levy your assets. Basically, this is a notice that you will receive if you do not follow the terms of the IRS installment agreement and now you are in default status. When you look at the CP 523 form, you will find the reason for the default, and it will state that the Internal Revenue Service or IRS intends to levy, and what you can do about it.
The CP 523 notice will also state what kind of rights you have and what measures you can undertake to prevent the levy on your assets. Basically, the CP 523 notice is a notice that has been sent to you because the IRS is canceling the installment agreement. You will find the reasons why the IRS intends to terminate the installment agreement. Some reasons are…
- You did not file your tax return.
- You have a new balance that was assessed .
- You have missed a payment.
While the CP 523 notice is not something that people look forward to, there is nothing you can do to stop the IRS from sending it to you. This is actually an official termination of your installment agreement.
Some of the documents that the IRS may send to you along with the CP 523 notice are:
- Notice 1219B, Notice Of Potential Third Party Contact
- Notice 1219B(SP), Aviso De Posible Comunicacion Con Tercera(s)Persona(s)
- Notice 609, Privacy Act Notice
- Notice 746, Information About Your Notice, Penalty And Interest
- Publication 594, What You Should Know About The IRS Collection Process
Remember, the IRS must receive your payments by their due dates. All taxes that you incur need to also be paid on time. Not a day late or a dollar short.
