$300,000 fine 5500ez

[flowersarenice]

 

I filed  5500 EZ Delinquent Filer Penalty Relief Program along with $1,500 check, solo 401k.  IRS cashed the check but later sent me a letter asking me to pay.  I replied that I already paid, that was in March 2021 with me sending proof of the cashed check.

Now I got a CP 283, demanding I pay $300,000 within 30 days!  I called the IRS number and the rep told me to fax documents, responding to the CP 283.

1.    Should I contact the tax payer advocate?

2.    What happens at end of October when the CP 283 is due in 30 days?

Any help is greatly appreciated as I am in a state of panic.  Let me know if this is the best place to post or another sub-forum.

Did you submit the Form 14704 with everything?

yes, submitted the 14704 with all the returns and the check.  I think the fact IRS thinks I didn't send a check (which I did and they cash) is messing this up.

 

Does anyone know what happens at end of 30 days? Premature to go use the tax payer advocate?  Problem is the IRS rep said everything is taking months to process.
