Why you received IRS Notice CP23<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. You reported estimated tax payments when you filed a tax return.<\/li>\n
  2. When the IRS compared the payments posted to your account with the payments claimed on the return, there was a discrepancy.<\/li>\n
  3. The IRS changed the return to reflect the amount of payments posted to your account.<\/li>\n
  4. The IRS sent CP23 to notify you of the discrepancy, of how the IRS changed the return and to advise you that a balance is now due. If you contact the IRS within 60 days of the date on the notice the IRS will reverse the changes. However, if your client is unable to substantiate the reversal, the IRS will forward the return for an audit.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Notice deadline: <\/strong>21 days<\/p>\n

    If you miss the deadline: <\/strong>Additional penalties and interest will accumulate.<\/p>\n
