IRS Statement Regarding California Mailing of Balance Due Notices 

To Our Valued Partners, 

We are sharing an important statement recently issued by the IRS regarding the California mailing of balance due notices. While not expected, this scenario may occur for other states with designated disaster areas that were provided certain tax relief (refer to our prior partner communication below the IRS Statement). Taxpayers who receive these IRS notices should pay close attention to any special inserts included. 

IRS Statement on California Mailing of Balance Due Notices – June 7, 2023 | Español

• “The IRS reassures California taxpayers that they continue to have an automatic extension until later this year to file and pay their taxes for those covered by disaster declarations in the state. The current mailings being received by some taxpayers, the IRS Notice CP14, are for taxpayers who have a balance due, and they are sent out as a legal requirement. While the notice received by taxpayers says they need to pay in 21 days, most California taxpayers have until later this year to pay under the disaster declaration. These letters include a special insert that notes the payment date listed in the letter does not apply to those covered by a disaster declaration, and the disaster dates remain in effect.” 

“The IRS apologizes to taxpayers and tax professionals for any confusion as we continue to review the situation. Taxpayers receiving these letters do not need to call the IRS or their tax professional.”
