Taxpayers get more time to deal with COVID-delayed IRS notices

One of the reasons the Internal Revenue Service has called more of its staff back to their offices is so they can deal with the backlog of tax notices.

When the agency sent most personnel home earlier this year as a coronavirus pandemic precaution, some previously-printed balance due notices didn't get mailed.

Now with some IRS operations restarting across the county, these notices will be delivered to taxpayers by the U.S. Postal Service in the next few weeks.

Original notices, old dates: These notices, however, won't be updated versions produced by staffers who now are back at their desks.

They will be the documents that were printed months ago. So if you get one, don't be surprised by its, say, March date.

The IRS opted to send out the original notices that were left when offices closed because the agency doesn't have the time in this already recalibrated tax season or money (thanks, Congress) to reprogram its systems and generate updated notices.

Overdue tax action deadlines: OK, no problem with the official tax correspondence having an older creation date, right? We get it.

But where the calendar designation could cause some concern is within some — actually, probably most — of the notices.

The deadlines by which the notice-recipient taxpayers should have taken action will likely have long passed by the time the mailings are delivered.

New deadlines inserted: Don't panic. The IRS says each notice will include an insert confirming that the due dates printed on the original notices have been extended.

Those new payment due date will be either this coming July 10 or July 15, depending upon the type of tax return and original due date.

So don't toss that insert. Read it for details on the delay and the correct payment due date(s).

Affected notices: So just which notices will show up with out-of-date deadlines? The IRS says those that will include the new deadline inserts are —

Open, read, act: Again, if you get a notice from the IRS, don't ignore it.

If you have questions about the balance due or other matters addressed in the notice, visit the website listed or call the number provided on the notice. The web options probably should be your first move, as the IRS says its phone lines remain extremely busy as it resumes operations.

And definitely take note of the notice's new deadline day in the insert. It's just a couple of weeks away.
