Hi, this is John with the Tax Review unit. We've been reviewing a number of taxpayer files flagged after the IRS deadline, and yours was still showing unresolved issues, either a balance due or missing filings, because that deadline has passed. IRS is now entering the next phase of file processing. And in most cases, that could include collections or penalties unless there's documentation on records showing hardship or resolution in progress. If you're available now, press 2 and either I or another resolution officer can go over next steps with you. Again, just press 2 to speak with someone or call us at 866-878-9928. I'll be available today until 3 PM. If you're no longer seeking assistance, you can press 7 to close out future notices.
