NOTICE CP128

Notice CP128 is an IRS notice that tells you that the IRS has applied your tax refund to a previous tax balance that you owe. This may happen if you have an unpaid balance from a previous year, or if you have an installment agreement in place to pay back a tax debt.

There are a few reasons why you might receive Notice CP128:

• You have an unpaid balance from a previous year.
• You have an installment agreement in place to pay back a tax debt.
• You filed a tax return for a previous year that showed a refund due, but you had an unpaid balance from a later year.
• You filed a tax return for a previous year that showed a refund due, but you owed taxes for other types of taxes, such as estimated taxes or self-employment taxes.

• If you receive Notice CP128, you should first review it carefully to make sure that you understand the information that it contains. The notice will show you the amount of your refund that was applied to your previous tax balance, as well as the remaining balance that you owe.
• If you agree with the information on the notice, you can pay your balance in full online or by mail. You can also set up a payment plan with the IRS.
• If you disagree with the information on the notice, you can contact the IRS to dispute it. You can do this by calling the number on the notice or by writing a letter to the IRS.

• If you cannot afford to pay your tax balance in full, you may be able to set up a payment plan with the IRS. To do this, you will need to contact the IRS and complete an installment agreement application.
• If you have unfiled tax returns, you should file them as soon as possible. Filing your unfiled tax returns can help you to avoid additional penalties and interest.
