The CP22A notice is issued by the IRS to inform taxpayers that a change has been made to their tax return, and as a result, they now have a balance due. The changes are often made due to adjustments or corrections based on additional information provided or discovered after the original return was filed.

Key points about CP22A:

The notice outlines the adjustments made to the return and provides a detailed explanation of how the new balance was calculated.
Taxpayers are given instructions on how to pay the balance and the due date for payment.
Failure to pay the balance by the due date may result in additional penalties and interest.

Taxpayers receiving CP22A should review the notice carefully and verify the IRS’s adjustments. If they agree with the changes, they should make arrangements to pay the balance by the due date to avoid further penalties.
