Yesterday the IRS issued a statement acknowledging that “some payments made for 2021 tax returns have not been correctly applied to joint taxpayer accounts, and these taxpayers are receiving erroneous balance due notices (CP-14 notices) or notices showing the incorrect amount.”
The problem started being reported by tax professionals on social media in early June. By early July the issue appeared systemic (at least to the tax pros) but it remained unclear whether or not the issue would be determined to be an actual systemic problem that the IRS would attempt to resolve. The statement issued yesterday both provides information for affected taxpayers and gives some insight into what may have caused the problem.
