IRS Notice CP30A – Estimated Tax Penalty Reduced or Removed
IRS Notice CP30A is sent to a taxpayer when the IRS reduces or removes the underpayment penalty for estimated taxes reported on a return.
Why Did I Receive IRS Notice CP30A?
You received IRS Notice CP30A because the underpayment penalty assessed on your federal income tax return was greater than the actual penalty due. The IRS either reduced or removed the penalty after reviewing their records and determined the information they had when processing your tax return was inaccurate. If you live in a federally declared disaster area, an automatic waiver may have been applied which could also result in a penalty reduction or removal.
Next Steps
If you receive a CP30A notice, review the information provided. Generally, you will receive your refund within 4-6 weeks. Your refund may be offset, however, if you have an outstanding tax balance or other government debt.
