What this notice is about We made changes to your tax return for the tax year on the notice, which also changed the amount owed for the shared responsibility payment (SRP). The SRP has been discontinued as of 2018. However, this does not relieve you of any legal obligations for due payments in the tax years for which you have received the notice. What you need to do Read your notice carefully. It explains the changes made to your SRP. If you agree with our changes: If you have a remaining balance due, pay the amount due by the date printed on your notice to avoid accruing additional interest. Pay online to ensure timely receipt of your payment. Make payment arrangements if you can't pay the full amount you owe. If we owe you a refund and you haven’t already received it via direct deposit or mail, you can expect to receive it within 2-3 weeks of the date printed on your notice. If you don't receive your refund within 2-3 weeks, call us at the number printed on your notice. Your refund may include interest. Any interest you receive on tax refunds is considered taxable income during the year you receive it. Be sure to correct your copy of your tax return for your records. If you disagree with the changes we made, contact us at the number provided on your notice. Frequently asked questions What is the SRP?
