Understanding the IRS CP04 Notice

 July 30, 2024

If you’ve received a CP04 notice from the IRS, you might be feeling a bit overwhelmed. But don’t worry, you’re not alone. At Lamarre Law Group, P.A., we’re here to help you understand what this notice means and what steps you need to take next.

What is a CP04 Notice?

A CP04 notice is sent by the IRS to individuals who have served in a combat zone, a qualified contingency operation, or a hazardous duty station during the tax year specified on the notice. This notice indicates that you or your spouse may be eligible for tax deferment due to this service.

What Should You Do?

If you receive a CP04 notice, here’s what you need to do:

1. Download and complete Form 15109, Request for Tax Deferment.
2. Send the completed Form 15109, supporting documentation, and a copy of your notice or letter to the IRS by the date printed on your notice.
3. You can send your completed form and supporting documentation via the IRS Digital Mailroom, the Document Upload Tool, fax, or mail.



Please note, if the IRS does not receive your completed Form 15109 by the due date shown on your notice, you may be subject to collection action for any taxes, interest, or penalties that you owe. It’s recommended to review this notice with your tax preparer.
