IRS Sending Notices in Error

Practitioners have observed that the IRS has been sending erroneous balance-due notices indicating that payments are due for 2023 income tax returns, even though payment of all taxes due had already been made on time and in full either by check or by debit.

Recently, the IRS acknowledged the error related to these notices and said that taxpayers (or their representatives) do not need to contact the IRS about such notices received, if they already paid all tax due in full and on time. The IRS has indicated that it will remove any erroneous interest or penalties from the accounts of affected taxpayers.
