The IRS unfortunately has started sending out a lot of notices regarding unpaid tax. If you didn’t pay your tax, obviously these notices are correct but for a lot of people these are in error.
There is a systematic issue with the IRS where if the spouse of the primary taxpayer paid the tax due online or with a check, it is not being applied to the primary account holder. The IRS then thinks the tax hasn’t been paid and is sending out demands for payment.
If this happens to you, please just let me know. I am providing free letter templates you can mail in with proof of payment to get these payments assigned correctly.
You do not owe the tax if you already paid.
