• IRS say ignore CP80 for 2020

    From scott s.@21:1/5 to All on Wed Feb 9 16:34:26 2022
    Well, after my Dad got a CP80 letter for 2020 return and he dutifully
    mailed off a new copy of his return, I see IRS is now saying: "Due to processing delays for 2019 and 2020 tax returns, the issuance of CP80 and
    CP080 (Unfiled Tax Return – Credit on Account) notices has been
    suspended. If you received a notice for your 2019 return and you filed
    timely, please refile the return. If you received a notice for your 2020
    return DO NOT refile."

    I suspect when processing of 2021 returns began, the system auto-
    generated these CP80 letters and now IRS is flooded with more returns it
    can't process.
