A CP521 notice is sent by the IRS if you have missed a payment on your installment agreement.

The notice will include the following information:

  • Your remaining balance
  • Your accruing interest amount
  • The date your total payment is due
  • Any penalties or cancellation terms for the agreement

If you received this notice, don’t wait to respond. If you don’t send a payment after receiving a CP521, your installment agreement could be cancelled, which will increase your penalties and require you to pay the total amount in full immediately.

If you are sent a CP521, it is best to send a payment as quickly as possible. Get in touch with a qualified tax professional to get the best advice for your situation.
