IRS urged to stop sending notices for unpaid
taxes until it catches up on mail backlog
3

• Rep. Richard Neal, D-Massachusetts, who performs
  a significant role in tax-writing House Ways and
  Means Committee, has recently urged the internal
  revenue service to stop sending notices on unpaid
  taxes to the taxpayers.
• However, this was happening at the agency because
  of the Mail Backlog that turned out as the
  consequence of the global pandemic, COVID-19.
• Owing to this problem, many taxpayers were still
  receiving 'balance-due notices' that perhaps have
  created a tense situation for most people among
  you.
• The officers have stated the reason behind it.
  After the global pandemic, most of the mails have
  remained unopened, even taxpayers filled their
  online tax return to the IRS a month ago, but
  still, it was happening. Similarly, after the
  employees returned to work, the entire process
  began to deal with all these unopened emails.
  But, this wasn't the instant solution as the
  number of mails was in millions.

• Therefore, to manage the situation, the IRS
  decided not to address the payment's final
  processed date and only post the receiving date
  payment. And taxpayers also don't require to
  cancel their checks sent to IRS, as they'll
  slowly review the mail to ensure taxpayers don't
  get any penalties or interest.
• But Neal suggested the IRS that in addition to
  sending lots of notice, IRS can set up an online
  portal for taxpayers to understand their tax
  return smoothly.
• In the context of this suggestion, Neal says that
  taxpayers can quickly provide information to the
  IRS about their previous mails. However, Neal
  also requested IRS to assure taxpayers that no
  penalties or charge has knocked their doors, as
  because of the pandemic, the agency was delaying
  in processing their payments.

• Neal also wrote " to not to make backlog problem
  a taxpayer problem" indeed, IRS should carefully
  review each mail and ensure everything before
  sending, so that a taxpayer doesn't get penalized
  unnecessarily. Otherwise, the IRS should leave
  sending the notices to the taxpayers.
• Therefore, last week, the IRS updated its web
  page with new information that is clearing the
  taxpayers' entire doubts. But due to COVID-19,
  most of the mails may still be unopened. Thus, to
  avoid penalties while filing the individual tax
  return, taxpayers must remember that they don't
  cancel their checks as IRS will continue to
  process them to ensure that the fund is available
  or check isn't bounced.
• Currently, the IRS provides relief from bad
  checks to provide equitable and fair treatment to
  the taxpayers. But in most instances, interest
  and charges may still apply.
