Understanding CP14 Notice
IRS Notice CP14 is typically the first notice you receive when you have an unpaid federal tax balance. It shows the amount you owe, including any penalties and interest. While CP14 is the least aggressive notice, ignoring it leads to escalating notices (CP501, CP503, CP504) and eventually to levies on your bank accounts and wages. Taking action now prevents the situation from worsening.
