    \n
  1. The IRS did not receive a tax return from you by the due date.<\/li>\n
  2. You filed a tax return for another tax year that has a refund due to you.<\/li>\n
  3. The IRS sent CP63 to notify you that your tax refund is being held until a return is filed and the balance due for that tax year is determined. If a return is not filed, the IRS may figure your tax for you.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Notice deadline: <\/strong>30 days<\/p>\n

    If you miss the deadline: <\/strong>The IRS may figure your tax for you for the unfiled year. Penalties and interest will apply. Your refund will be held and may be applied to any balance resulting from the unfiled year.<\/p>\n
