The IRS has turned to the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) for help identifying taxpayers who may have received IRS Notice CP53E in error. CP53E asks taxpayers to provide or update their bank account information for direct deposit of a tax refund. Millions of taxpayers received these mailed notices, causing confusion about refund processing and bank account information. The notices also raised concerns about potential fraud. The IRS is specifically seeking examples of taxpayers who received the notice despite already providing accurate bank information or who weren’t due a refund or an account adjustment. If you received a CP53E but believe it was sent in error, contact us.
