IRS CP501 Notice — Balance Due Reminder
This is the IRS's first reminder — act before it escalates.
A CP501 is a reminder notice from the IRS that you have an unpaid tax balance. It typically follows a CP14 that went unanswered. You have a limited time to pay or set up a payment plan before the IRS sends more serious collection notices.
What Are My Options?
- Pay the full amount at IRS Direct Pay to stop interest and penalties
- Apply for an installment agreement (Form 9465) to pay over time
- Request an offer in compromise if you cannot afford to pay the full balance
- Write a dispute if you believe the amount is incorrect
