Reason Why You Received Notice from the IRS


Whenever we file the form 2290 and received the schedule 1, we are in a belief that everything is perfectly done. Then all of a sudden, we will get surprised that we received a notice from the IRS that our tax is unpaid. What happened? What did we do wrong? Below are the reasons why you got notice:

EFTPS or CARD Payment option for the IRS tax
Once we select any of these options, we are in thinking that the IRS will charge our bank account or debit/credit card automatically for the tax due. But once we check our bank account or credit card statement shows no charge has been placed by the IRS. This is because we did not use the EFTPS website or card at IRS website to make tax payment. Please take note that if we select tax payment mode as EFTPS, we need to make the payment at the EFTPS website (this does not apply to taxpayers who already have made payment in advance through EFTPS) https://www.eftps.gov/eftps/, whereas for the CARD payment option, we need to use the IRS website post submitting the form 2290 online to complete the payment (also does not apply to those who made payment in advance using the card on IRS website). Link is here https://www.irs.gov/payments/pay-taxes-by-credit-or-debit-card

Incorrect Bank account information
If we select IRS tax payment option as Bank Account (EFW/E-Check), we should double check that we entered correct bank account information. IRS will not be able to charge the bank account automatically if e-filed form 2290 with incorrect account information. And this is the reason we receive a notice from the IRS notifying that the tax is unpaid.

Also some time;
We have our bank account statement or card statement clearly shows that the tax has been charged or paid. But for some reason, still, we receive a notice from the IRS mentioning about unpaid tax. In this case, please call the IRS and inform them that the tax due has already been charged from your bank or paid by using credit/debit card. This way, they do correct their records and we would be free from the stress!!
