Unraveling the IRS Cp01h Notice

July 30, 2024

Hello, readers! Today, we’re going to simplify another IRS notice – the CP01H. As always, we at Lamarre Law Group, P.A. are here to make complex tax issues simple for you.

What is a CP01H Notice?

A CP01H notice is issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) when they receive a tax return that contains a Social Security number (SSN) for an account that they locked because their records indicate the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) belongs to an individual who died prior to the tax year of the return submitted.

Why Did I Receive a CP01H Notice?

If the IRS’s records indicate that the SSN of the primary or secondary taxpayer on the return belongs to someone who died prior to the tax year of the return submitted for processing, they lock your account and issue a CP01H notice.

How Does the CP01H Notice Affect Me?

The IRS locks your account to prevent fraudulent activity. This does not affect your ability to file your tax return, make payments, or receive a refund. However, it does mean that you need to take action to correct the situation if the IRS’s records are incorrect.

What Should I Do After Receiving a CP01H Notice?

If you think the IRS’s records are incorrect, you should contact the Social Security Administration (SSA) to correct the situation. The IRS cannot help you until the SSA verifies that the primary or secondary taxpayer is not deceased. After the SSA corrects the information, you should follow the instructions shown on your CP01H notice to file your return. You must file within 3 years from the date on your notice to receive your refund.
