The IRS Notice CP14, the current mailings being received by some taxpayers, are for taxpayers who have a balance due, and they are sent out as a legal requirement. While the notice received by taxpayers says they need to pay in 21 days, most California taxpayers have until later this year to pay under the disaster declaration. Taxpayers in federally declared disaster areas in other states who receive this notice also have additional time to pay; a full listing of disaster areas in various states is available. These letters include a special insert that notes the payment date listed in the letter does not apply to those covered by a disaster declaration, and the disaster dates remain in effect. 3.??Special options available to help taxpayers who missed the April deadline Encourage your clients who owe unpaid taxes and missed the April 18 tax deadline to file their 2022 federal income tax return and pay any tax due by Wednesday, June 14, to avoid a larger late-filing penalty. The IRS must receive the return by June 14; returns mailed on that date normally won?t avoid the larger penalty. For that reason, the IRS recommends taxpayers file electronically by the June 14 deadline. Visit IRS.gov for more about available options for those who are unable to pay, and about those who automatically have additional time to file. This article is also available in Spanish and Simplified Chinese. 4.??Estimated tax payment due June 15 Remind your clients about the upcoming 2023 second quarter estimated tax payment deadline.

This news release is also available in Spanish and Simplified Chinese. 5.??Taxpayers must file by July 17 to claim refunds for 2019 The IRS estimates almost $1.5 billion in refunds remain unclaimed because taxpayers haven't yet filed their 2019 tax returns. Tax pros, if your client falls in this category, encourage them to submit a tax return to claim their refunds for tax year 2019 by the July 17, 2023, deadline. Under the law, taxpayers usually have three years to file and claim their tax refunds. If they don't file within three years, the money becomes the property of the U.S. Treasury.
