The IRS Will Begin Notifying Employers Of Delays in Processing Form 7200
There has been so much buzz surrounding the new Form 7200: Advance Payment of Employer Credits Due to COVID-19. Many businesses across the country filed this form, yours may be one of them. Many business owners are experiencing stress as their forms have not been processed.
The IRS has announced that in light of this delay in processing the Form 7200, they will be sending notification letters to filers. This is the information that the IRS has provided so far.
If you have submitted your Form 7200 to the IRS and have yet to receive any update, you can look forward to receiving one of these IRS letters.
Letter 6312
If you receive the Letter 6312, it means that the IRS was unable to process your return for one of the following reasons:
- Missing information
- Incorrect information
- Computational errors
Don’t panic, the IRS will indicate the exact reason for your rejection, so you won’t have to guess. This letter will also provide information on the next steps for re-submitting your Form 7200.
Letter 6313
If you get a Letter 6313 from the IRS, they need written confirmation that the address you listed on your Form 7200 is your current mailing address. The good news is that you can fix this fairly easily.
You basically have 2 options here.
Option 1: The address that you listed is your current address. Simply check the box on your Letter 6313 and mail it back to the IRS. It is VERY important that you respond to this, otherwise the IRS will not process your Form 7200.
Option 2: This is not your business’ current address. You will need to change the address that the IRS has on file by filing the Form 8822-B, Change of Address of Responsible Party-Business. Simply complete and sign this form, then submit it to the IRS. They will send your payment to this address.
