Eight scary automated IRS notices that are being suspended — for now

You’ve been trying to communicate with the IRS for months about your 2020 federal return, but your calls go unanswered and your mailed correspondence clearly sits unopened.

Then you receive a scary letter in the mail that says you haven’t filed your tax return, even though you did. Or, you’re warned that you have a tax debt. You don’t believe you owe it, but in an extreme case, the IRS could still move to levy your income, take money from your bank account or seize your property.
