CP59, no tax return on file

Dear Carla Jimenez, This letter is about your 2017 Form 1040. This is the main form people use to file their federal income tax return. **The IRS has no record that you filed your 2017 tax return.** **What to do right away** If you had to file a tax return for 2017, file it now. You can: - Fill out your return using your current address. Sign it. If you owe taxes, include a payment. Mail it in the envelope we sent. - File online through an e-file provider. This only works if it is within 2 years of the original due date. - Pay online at www.irs.gov/payments. You can also mail a payment with your return. **If you don't think you had to file a return for 2017** Fill out the enclosed Form 15103, Form 1040 Return Delinquency. It asks whether any of the reasons on the form apply to you. Mail it with the bottom part of this letter (the stub) in the envelope we sent. You can also fax it to 1-855-555-0161. Tell us: - Whether you already filed a 2017 return. If you did, send us a signed and dated copy of it with Form 15103. - Whether you don't think you have to file, and which reason on Form 15103 applies. **If we don't hear from you** - If you don't file a return, or you think this letter is a mistake and you don't respond, you may owe penalties and interest on the taxes you owe. These charges can keep growing. - You could lose your refund. If you are owed a refund for taxes taken out of your pay or paid ahead of time, you must file a return to get it. The deadline was April 15, 2021, plus any extension. The same rule applies to tax credits you may qualify for, such as the Earned Income Credit. - If you earned interest or dividends and don't file or pay what you owe, the IRS can tell banks and other payers to keep some of your payments. That money goes to the IRS. You can claim it on your tax return later. **What happens next** We will contact you again if: - We need more information about your tax return. - We decide that you do need to file a 2017 return. If you think we made a mistake, call 1-800-555-0137 to review your account. **More information** - Visit www.irs.gov/cp59. - For tax forms, instructions, and publications, visit www.irs.gov or call 800-829-3676. - To get your wage and income information, visit www.irs.gov/transcript. - Keep this letter for your records. If you need help, please contact us. Sincerely, Internal Revenue Service

Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service Fresno, CA 93888-0025 Notice: CP59 Tax year: 2017 (ending December 31, 2017) Notice date: January 28, 2019 Phone: 1-800-555-0137 Carla Jimenez 9 Mill Street Shelbyville, TN 37160 ## We have no tax return from you for 2017 Our records show that you did not send us a tax return (Form 1040) for 2017. ## What to do right now If you had to file a tax return for 2017, please file it now. You can do this in one of three ways: - **By mail:** Fill out your tax return. Use the address where you live now. Sign it. Add a payment if you owe taxes. Mail it to us in the envelope we sent. - **By computer:** You can file online with an e-file company. You can only do this if it has been less than 2 years since the date your return was first due. - **Pay online:** Go to www.irs.gov/payments. Or, you can mail a payment with your return. ## If you think you did not have to file Fill out the form we sent, called Form 15103. It asks questions to find out if you needed to file. Send it back in one of two ways: - Mail it with the bottom part of this notice in the envelope we sent. - Fax it to 1-855-555-0161. On the form, tell us if either of these is true: - **You already filed a 2017 tax return.** If so, send us a copy of the return. Sign it and write the date on it. Send it with Form 15103. - **You do not have to file.** The form lists the reasons a person might not need to file. Pick the one that fits you. ## What happens if you don't answer - **You may owe extra money.** If you do not file, you may be charged penalties and interest on the tax you owe. This is also true if you think we sent this notice by mistake and you do not tell us. The extra charges can keep growing until you pay. - **You could lose your refund.** A refund is money we give back to you if you paid too much during the year. If you are owed a refund, you must file your return to get it. The last day to ask for it is April 15, 2021. If you get more time to file, that date may be later. This is also true for tax credits that can give you money back, like the Earned Income Credit. - **Some of your bank interest could be taken.** Say you earned interest or dividends (money from a bank or from investments). If you do not file or do not pay what you owe, the IRS may tell the places that pay you to hold back part of that money. They would send that money to the IRS. You can then count it as money you already paid when you file your return. ## What happens next We will contact you again if: - We need more information about your tax return. - We decide that you did have to file a 2017 tax return. If you think we made a mistake, call us at 1-800-555-0137.
