CP2000 Notice for 2021 Back Taxes - Will IRS Take My 2024 Refund?
Just got hit with a notice saying I owe back taxes from 2021. The due date is March 10, 2025. Not sure if they're gonna snatch my current refund or if I'll still get it and just need to handle the 2021 payment separately. Anyone deal with this before?

The IRS will likely offset your current refund against your 2021 tax debt. This is standard procedure - they automatically apply any refunds to outstanding tax debts before issuing remaining funds. You should check your transcripts to see if an offset has already been applied.

•Unfortunately no, offset is automatic. But you can set up a payment plan for any remaining balance after the offset.

Hey! I actually found this amazing tool called taxr.ai that helped me understand my situation perfectly when I was in the same boat. It costs $1 but it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly whats happening with offsets and everything. Saved me hours of research! https://taxr.ai

Call em ASAP! Sometimes they can work with you on a payment plan before they take the whole refund. Worth a shot atleast
