What the IRS says to do
Respond by the due date on your CP14F notice. Pay the amount you owe by the due date on your notice. Paying your balance in full by the due date will stop additional penalties and interest. If you can’t pay the full amount you owe by the due date , see the Frequently Asked Questions below for information about options to resolve your tax debt . Remember interest will continue to accrue until you pay your balance in full. If you disagree with your CP14F notice, see below for information about contacting the IRS.
