So much for "The IRS computers will automatically grant relief based on the zip code."
These notices dont have any penalty or interest computed on them, so at least they've fixed that part!
"If an affected taxpayer receives a late filing or late payment penalty notice from the IRS that has an original or extended filing, payment or deposit due date that falls within the postponement period, the taxpayer should call the telephone number on the notice to have the IRS abate the penalty."
Update: Congress repealed the funds IRS needs to answer the phones. Call Kevin McCarthy's office instead.
Im not responding to those notices. Im telling my clients they still have until October to make payment.
I checked to see if Spidell had reported anything about this. All I found was an item from May, about CP14's being sent nationwide for previous years.
So it might be a good idea to ask clients if the notice relates to 2022.
I checked with Spidell first too...I couldnt access their message board though, just kept looping me back to the homepage.
I've had 2 clients state IRS sent letter stating they havent paid their taxes due. Both had auto withdraw and has been withdrawn......
I know thats not CA but.....yeah!! 😃
I deliberately did not file any returns with a balance due as my crystal ball said this would be an issue 😉 so none of my clients have received notices.
I did find this on a different list-serve:
Notice 1155-G is included with the CP-14 Notice.
3.14.2.7.6.19 Disaster Freeze (-S) Notice Review - The -S freeze is a systemic disaster indicator that gives the IRS flexibility to grant filing and payment relief without suspending compliance activities and thegeneration of notices when the impact and scope of a federally declared disaster does NOT warrant the use of the -O Freeze.
3.14.2.7.6.14 - Disaster Freeze (-O) - The -O freeze allows the Service to provide special processing related to any filing, payment or interest relief, granted for a geographical area. It is input systemically at the request of the Disaster Program Office.
Ive had a few of those as well. Im not sure why it takes so long for the computers that send out bills to be updated that a payment has been made.
Flash Alert from Spidell:
IRS tweets apology for erroneous CP14s (06-08-23)
In tweets released late yesterday, the IRS stated that California taxpayers who qualify for the disaster-related October 16 postponements (August 15 for Modoc and Shasta counties) still have until the October 16/August 15 postponement deadline to pay their 2022 tax liabilities. The IRS stated that taxpayers receiving erroneous CP14 letters do not need to call the IRS or their tax professionals.
The IRS acknowledged that the CP14s are automatically generated when taxpayers have a balance due, but that taxpayers eligible for the disaster postponements do not have any balances currently due. From the IRS’s tweets: “The IRS apologizes to taxpayers and tax professionals for any confusion as we continue to review the situation.”
They asked me how I knew my tax debt was true
I, of course replied
"A CP14 cannot be denied"
They said, "Someday, you'll find some tax collectors are blind
When Canadian forests are on fire
You must realize smoke gets in IRS eyes"
So, I chaffed them, and I gaily laughed
To think they could doubt my bill
Yet, today, my IRS demand has flown away
I am without my urgent debt (without my deadline to pay)
Now, laughing friends delight in tears of joy I cannot hide
So I smile and say
"When Canadian smoke reaches DC
Smoke gets in their eyes"

IRS tweets apology
I know that I'm "old school", but it drives me crazy that the first line for apologizing for a screw-up is via a "tweet".
I dont even use Twitter, and Im certainly not going to start just to follow IRS.
You probably don't drive an EV either, or enjoy watching space ships blow up on the launch pad. You're just so 20th Century.
They did issue a news release Wednesday afternoon that said the same thing:

When I pull up to an EV, I start revving my 69 Chevelle in their faces. Let them suck my gas fumes!!!
