# What is a CP14 notice?

Updated October 8, 20261 sourceTaxTruce team[Fact checked](/editorial-standards)

The short answer

It is the IRS bill that says you owe money on unpaid taxes. Pay by the due date to avoid more interest, or set up a plan if you can't pay. If you disagree, call the number in the IRS Help part of the notice.
