IRS Letter CP71C

Why are you receiving this letter?

You received IRS letter CP71C because you owe the IRS money for tax, penalty and interest, and are likely in Currently Non-Collectable status.  Currently Non-Collectable status means you are in financial hardship and unable to pay the IRS.  The IRS is not pursuing collections but they do inform you the outstanding tax balances.  Currently Non-Collectable status doesn’t eliminate your tax balance.
