IRS Action: Considered
The recommendation is under consideration. Automated Programs is responsible for the following automated levy collection due process notices in addition to the CP 90; CP 90C, 77, 92, 177, 242, 297, 297A & 297C. Each of these notices carry the same verbiage involving the taxpayer’s payment options. These notices also mirror the language on other CDP notices (e.g. LT11/1058). We would like to discuss the recommended change with the other owners of CDP notices so that the change could potentially be made to all the CDP notices. We would also need to have the recommendation reviewed by Office of Taxpayer Correspondence and IRS Counsel.
