CP 11 is a notice that will be sent to you if alterations were made at the time of the processing of your tax return and your tax account has an unpaid balance. When there is any balance due on your account, the CP 11 will be the first notice that you will receive from the IRS. The notice will notify you (i.e. the tax payer) about the changes that have been made to the Individual Income Tax Form.
In the CP 11 notice, you will probably find the flowing things:
- For what purpose the notice has been sent to you?
- What kind of changes were made and why they were made?
- The step(s) you should take if you happen to agree with the alterations that have been made
- The step(s) you should take if you happen to disagree with the alterations that have been made
Generally, when you happen to agree with the changes that were made to your tax account, you will need to make the payment for the amount that is due. The IRS will send one envelop to you along with the CP 11 notice. You will need to mail your check in that envelop as soon as it is possible. But only if you agree and have no other issues with the IRS.
If you disregard the notice and do not pay the amount that is due, the IRS will use other attempts to collect the money from you. If all these attempts fail then the IRS will file a Notice of Federal Tax Lien. This will give them a legal claim to your assets.
If you do not happen to agree with the CP 11 notice then you will need to call the IRS on the number that they have printed on the top of the notice. They will try to provide assistance to you as much as possible. We do not recommend that you do this. Please seek representation whenever you owe money to the IRS.
Some other documents that may be sent to you along with the CP 11 notice are:
- Publication 1
- Notice 746
- Notice 1212
- A Form 9465
- A Form 2210
