What you need to do
- If you owe, pay your balance in full to avoid paying more in penalties and interest.
- If you can’t pay the full amount you owe, explore alternative options for resolving your balance.
- If you need to file a past due return, do so by the date shown on your notice to avoid paying additional penalties. Learn more about your options for filing past due returns.
How much time do I have to respond?
