Many Pennsylvania residents are receiving CP14 notices from the IRS claiming they owe money for 2023 taxes, despite having paid on time, leading to confusion and frustration as the IRS works to resolve the issue.
IRS Sends Out Incorrect CP14 Notices to Pennsylvania Taxpayers
According to the article Best Life, many people in Pennsylvania are getting letters from the IRS called CP14 notices. These letters claim they owe money for their 2023 taxes, along with penalties and interest, even though they say they paid on time. Reports from local news like NBC’s 8 WGAL show that taxpayers are confused and frustrated because they know they paid their taxes correctly.
The IRS has acknowledged the problem, admitting that some CP14 notices were sent out before payments were processed. This means even if people paid their taxes electronically or with a check, the IRS didn’t update their accounts right away. The IRS advises people who received these notices but paid their taxes correctly to ignore them. However, those who still owe taxes should follow the instructions in the notice to settle their accounts.
