IRS Notice CP171: Balance Due — Penalty Reminder

IRS CP171 通知是什么意思？

A CP171 reminds you that a previously billed balance — including assessed penalties and interest — is still unpaid. It is the penalty-balance counterpart to other reminder notices and signals the account is moving toward more serious collection.

您为什么会收到 CP171？

An earlier penalty balance notice (such as CP161) went unpaid, so the IRS is issuing a reminder with the now-larger total.

如何回应 CP171 通知

Pay the outstanding amount promptly or set up a payment plan. If you have grounds — a clean prior compliance history or reasonable cause — request penalty abatement. Contact the IRS quickly if you dispute any part of the balance.

如果忽视会发生什么？

The IRS escalates toward levy notices; penalties and interest continue to grow, and enforced collection against your assets becomes more likely.
