IRS Calculation of Interest Error

 

Special notice for taxpayers who received an IRS tax due notice mailed July 1-12

The IRS has discovered that tax notices sent out via Form CP2000 (noted in the top right hand corner of the notice) during the weeks of July 1 and July 8 contain an error in the calculation of interest. The interest calculated is lower than it should be.

 

A CP2000 notice provides proposed changes to income tax returns where the information on a return filed does not match with information provided to the IRS by third party sources such as employers, banks and other business organizations and other corrections discovered during the processing of a tax return.

 

Error Corrected

The IRS has corrected the error for future mailings. However, it appears that there will not be a revised notice sent out to provide the correct information. Later in July, the IRS will be sending affected taxpayers new information on how to contact the IRS, via phone or mail, to receive the corrected interest amount.
