Their checks to the U.S. Treasury were cashed nearly a year ago. But taxpayers say they're now receiving letters from the IRS asking them to immediately file their 2020 federal income tax returns.
The tax system has undergone sizable challenges since the two-year-long pandemic began in early 2020.
Edward Karl, vice president of tax policy and advocacy for the American Institute of CPAs, said the CP80 notice has an important place in the process. The notice would normally be sent when a tax return for a given year wasn't received even though the filer might have paid a good deal of money already into the system, such as through estimated taxes.
Unfortunately, many taxpayers opened their mail already and read the notices before the IRS announced that it was halting some of these mailings. The IRS didn't offer a clear detail of what notices it is suspending in its statement, as it doesn't even mention CP80 in its statement. "If a taxpayer has received a notice for a 2020 return they should not refile," according to Luis Garcia, a spokesperson for the IRS in Detroit.
If you didn't file a return, obviously, you could have money that you might be owed based on the notice and would want to file to claim a refund. The automated system makes more sense in more normal times when the backlog isn't so great. But bulk batches of notices now pose a great risk of alerting many taxpayers to problems that aren't real on their end, according to professionals.
