  3. You may have received one or more notices requesting that a tax return be filed. The IRS did not receive a tax return from you and prepared a return based on the information received by third parties.
  4. The IRS sent CP3219N to notify your client of the proposed assessment of tax, penalties and interest. You have 90 days from the date on the notice to challenge the tax, penalties, and interest by filing a petition with the tax court.

Notice deadline: 90 days

If you miss the deadline: If you do not file a petition with the tax court or respond to the notice, the IRS will send a bill for the taxes due, including penalties and interest.
