| Tax you owed (Form 1040, line 37) | $8,946.00 |
| Payments and credits | −$7,872.00 |
| Failure-to-pay penalty | $53.70 |
| Interest charges (compounded daily) | $36.30 |
| Amount due by July 8, 2026 | $1,164.00 |
Pay the amount due of $1,164.00 by July 8, 2026, to avoid additional penalty and interest. Pay online, by phone, or by mail using the enclosed voucher.
If you can't pay the full amount by the due date, pay what you can now. You may qualify for an installment agreement or an offer in compromise. Interest and the failure-to-pay penalty continue to accrue on any unpaid balance.
If we don't receive payment or hear from you, we may file a Notice of Federal Tax Lien and may eventually levy your wages, bank accounts, or other property.
If you paid in the last 21 days, you may disregard this notice. If you believe the amount is wrong, call the number above by July 8, 2026, with your records — you have the right to dispute this amount before any enforcement begins.
The enforcement paragraph drives 66% of all term-taps on this notice. Suggested rewrite: lead with the sequence (“reminder letters come first”), move “levy” to the final sentence. One template change improves 1.2M letters.
