IRS sends out incorrect collection letters to disaster areas - including Arkansas!
"Short answer: Disaster area taxpayers can ignore the CP14 collection notice," says Collins. "The payment due date on the collection notice is wrong. The correct payment due date is stated on the disaster declaration."
"The IRS is working hard to improve our operations as part of our new Strategic Operating Plan," said IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel in a statement. "We know our initial mailing caused confusion for taxpayers and tax professionals, and we worked quickly to send a follow-up reminder to help reassure people. This mailing reflects how we're trying to be more taxpayer-focused given the additional resources that we've been given under the Inflation Reduction Act."

The Internal Revenue Service has been sending out erroneous balance due notices demanding taxpayers in federal disaster areas pay up, even though they're supposed to get extra time.
