Understanding the IRS CP01 Notice: A Guide
Hello, readers! Today, we’re going to discuss a topic that might seem complex at first glance - the IRS CP01 Notice. But don’t worry, we at Lamarre Law Group, P.A. are here to break it down for you in plain language.
What is a CP01 Notice?
A CP01 is a notice you receive from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that confirms your claim of identity theft. This notice is part of the IRS’s efforts to protect taxpayers and prevent fraudulent activity on their tax accounts.
Why Did I Receive a CP01 Notice?
If you’ve been a victim of identity theft and reported it to the IRS, they place an identity theft indicator on your account. This indicator doesn’t affect your ability to file your tax return, make payments, or receive a refund. Instead, it serves as a protective measure to prevent future fraud.
How Does the CP01 Notice Protect Me?
The IRS monitors your tax account for any suspicious activity. If someone uses your Social Security Number (SSN) to file a fraudulent tax return, the indicator alerts the IRS. They then perform research to verify the validity of the tax return filed with your SSN. If the tax return is found to be invalid, the IRS won’t process it.
What Should I Do After Receiving a CP01 Notice?
You don’t need to take any specific action after receiving a CP01 notice. However, if you have more questions about your account related to identity theft, you can call 800-908-4490 for specialized assistance. For all other tax account related questions, you can call 800-829-1040.
