You received IRS letter CP22E because a return was not filed and the IRS is filing a return for you.  This return is called a Substitute for Return (SFR).  The IRS will file a SFR when no return was filed to start the collection process such as levies and garnishments.

      What you should do?

      Read your notice carefully. The Notice explains the tax period and tax form. On our Notice example, the SFR is for tax year 2009 and tax form 1040.

      If you disagree with this notice, prepare and file a tax return. When the IRS files a return for you, you will not get all your deductions. Filing a return with all your deductions will reduce the balance owed. Contact our office to discuss your options and appeal rights.

      If you agree with this notice, you have a balance due and owing to the IRS.

      What can you expect next?

      IRS letter CP22E is considered a tax bill. The IRS asks that you pay the balance due in full. You do have options to setup arrangements with the IRS if you are unable to pay the balance due in full. It is in your best interest to pay as quickly as possible to minimize penalties and interest.

      The IRS asks that you pay the balance due in full. You do have options, but if the tax bill is left unpaid, the IRS may move forward with filing Federal Tax Liens and/or Tax Levies on your wages, bank accounts, state & federal tax refunds, etc.
