The IRS has come calling. Here's what you should do next.
If you have recently received an IRS notice telling you payment is due on a return you filed up to six years ago or thought your 2023 refund was lower The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has issued a notice to pay a payment due on a return filed up to six years ago or thought your 2023 refund was lower than it should have been. The agency claims these notices are reminders to people who have already received initial letters. Jenny Coleman, who filed her 2023 tax return, said she received a letter stating she still owed taxes from 2021, which was the year she received stimulus payments and unemployment. The IRS has not forgotten these individuals and interest has accrued.

If you have recently received an IRS notice telling you payment is due on a return you filed up to six years ago or thought your 2023 refund was lower than it should have been, you are most definitely not alone.
The Internal Revenue Service is playing catch-up on a lot of things. The bad news is that they haven’t forgotten you, and the even worse news is that interest has accrued.
First, the payment letters. The IRS said, in a press release dated December 19, that the notices you may have received are "reminders" to people who had already received initial letters.
Not so, argued Jenny Coleman, who said the first letter she got from the IRS arrived on Monday. "I filed my 2023 taxes, got a refund and everything looked fine," said Coleman, a Shreveport native who lives in South Carolina. Then she got the letter stating she still owed taxes from 2021. "That was the year I got stimulus payments and unemployment," she said, "But they take taxes out of unemployment already. It seems to me they just plugged a number in it and sent it."
