CP 71A And CP 71D – Killer Reminder Of Balance Due
CP 71A / CP 71D – You Still Have A Balance Due…
The CP 71A or CP 71D notice is issued by the IRS once every year to remind the taxpayers they still have a balance owed, and that it includes interest and penalties. It is your annual notice of what is still owed. This notice will also inform you of your ‘currently not collectible status. The Service is required by law to inform the tax payers about the amount of money that is still outstanding at least once in a year. They will send the CP 71A or CP 71D notice to remind you of that.
If you agree with the IRS and you are willing to make the payment for the amount that is due then you can pay them by check as soon as possible. On the other hand, if you are unable to pay, you can request additional time for a full pay, or establish an installment agreement. This letter is a reminder notice and not a collection action.
