IRS CP25 Notice: Estimated Tax Payments Partially Credited

The CP25 means the IRS credited some of your estimated tax payments but not all of them. There's a discrepancy between what you claimed and what the IRS has on record for the remaining payments. Your refund or balance has been adjusted accordingly.

Find the Missing Payments

Compare your payment records to the IRS's credits shown on the CP25. Identify which payments were credited and which are missing. For the missing payments, gather proof: electronic payment confirmations, cancelled checks, bank statements showing debits to the IRS.

Respond With Documentation

Send copies of your proof of payment to the address on the notice. Include the tear-off stub, a cover letter identifying each missing payment by date and amount, and supporting documentation for each. Once the IRS verifies the payments, they'll adjust your account and release any additional refund or reduce your balance.

If estimated payments aren't being credited correctly, call us at (813) 229-7100.
