IRS Letter CP91
Why are you receiving this letter?
You received IRS letter CP91 because the IRS has determined that you owe a tax balance, have not paid the balance, and the IRS will now levy up to 15% of your social security benefits to pay toward the balance.
- Your tax balance is less than $25,000.
- You don’t have unfiled tax returns.
- You are unable to pay back the taxes in full.
- You would like to discuss this with someone not working for the IRS to understand what is going on and the options you have.
- Your tax balance is greater than $25,000.
- You have unfiled tax returns.
- You are unable to pay back the taxes in full.
- You would like to negotiate down the tax balances.
What you should do?
Call the IRS or a tax professional immediately. You may be able to hold off the levy for 30 to 60 days while you explore your options. You must set up some type of arrangement with the IRS to resolve your taxes. This may include preparing missing tax returns, levy release, non-collectable status, Offer in Compromise, or an installment agreement.
What can you expect next?
If you do not respond to the IRS in a timely manner, a portion of your social security payment will be held for IRS back taxes. This levy will remain in effect until the balance is paid in full, or you enter into a resolution option with the IRS.
IRS letter CP91 is considered a tax bill. The IRS asks that you pay the balance due in full. You do have options.
