Collection Notices to Restart ‘End of May’

Freese, Peralez, & Associates • May 9, 2023

If you owe federal taxes, expect the IRS to ramp up notices and collection actions after the pandemic emergency is officially over this month.


On Friday, May 5, IRS Deputy Commissioner for Collection and Operations Support Darren Guillot announced at an American Bar Association tax conference panel in Washington, D.C., that the pause on certain collection notices will stop this month following the termination of the COVID-19 emergency declaration.


CP14 Notices inform taxpayers of outstanding balances of unpaid taxes, including the amount owed and a scannable QR code that directs to an IRS landing page for payments. Guillot estimated by the “end of May,” approximately 5-8 million CP14 Notices will be sent to taxpayers after a suspension dating back to 2020 at the onset of the pandemic.
