in a statement. “Stopping these letters — which could have been sent to thousands of taxpayers — will help avoid confusion.”“Ordinarily, the IRS has computers set to send notices to taxpayers warning them when a tax return is overdue,” she said in an email. “But right now, there’s a big backlog of taxpayers’ returns that have been filed but have not yet been processed.”
