NOTICE CP187

Notice CP187 is a reminder notice from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that you have an unpaid balance on your taxes. This notice is typically sent to taxpayers who have already received other notices about their unpaid balance, such as Notice CP160 and Notice CP163.

There are a number of reasons why you might receive Notice CP187, including:

• You have not paid your taxes in full.
• You have not filed your tax return.
• You have filed a tax return but have not paid the full amount due.
• You have made a payment on your taxes, but the payment was not processed correctly.
• You have a balance due from a prior year’s tax return.

If you receive Notice CP187, you should take it seriously. The IRS is sending you this notice because you have an unpaid balance, and they are giving you one last chance to pay it before they take further action.

There are a number of things you can do in response to Notice CP187:

• Pay the balance in full.
• Set up a payment plan with the IRS.
• Dispute the balance if you believe it is incorrect.
• Contact a tax professional for assistance.

The best way to avoid receiving Notice CP187 is to file your taxes on time and pay your taxes in full. If you are unable to pay your taxes in full, you can set up a payment plan with the IRS.

Here are some tips to help you avoid receiving Notice CP187 in the future:

• File your taxes on time.
• Pay your taxes in full.
• Set up a payment plan with the IRS if you are unable to pay your taxes in full.
• Keep accurate records of your income and expenses.
• Review your tax return carefully before you file it.
• Hire a tax professional to help you prepare and file your tax return if you are unsure about anything.
