IRS Suspends Mailing of Various Letters (Part XI)

IRS Business Notice CP518 Suspended (CP618 in Spanish)

This is a final reminder notice that the IRS still has no record that you filed your prior tax returns.

What you need to do

  • File your tax return immediately or explain to the IRS why you don’t need to file.
  • If eligible, file your return electronically with all required schedules, using your e-file provider, or
  • File a paper return with all required schedules using the enclosed envelope or fax it to 855-800-5944 using a fax machine or online fax service. NOTE: Several online fax services use the internet to send files from your computer or smart device to a fax number.
  • Complete the Response form enclosed with your notice and mail it to the IRS, using the enclosed envelope or fax it to 855-800-5944:
    • Use the response form on your notice to explain:
      • why you’re filing late.
      • why you don’t have to file.
      • if you already filed and it’s been more than four weeks, or if you used a different name or employer ID number (EIN) than shown on the notice when filing.
      • if you filed within the last four weeks using the same name and EIN shown on the notice, you may disregard this notice.

If the IRS does not hear from you

  • They may determine your tax for you, and penalty and interest can continue to accrue.
  • If you’re owed a refund for the current tax year, or any prior year, it may be delayed because of this unfiled return.
