Understanding your CP232C notice

What this notice is about

We denied your request to extend the time to file Form 5330, Return of Excise Taxes Related to Employee Benefit Plans, because your Form 8868, Application for Extension of Time To File an Exempt Organization Return or Excise Taxes Related to Employee Benefit Plans, didn't state a reason why you need the extension.

What you need to do

• File a corrected Form 8868 or Form 5330 by the return due date.

• If it’s overdue, you must complete, sign, and file Form 5330 and pay any taxes owed immediately. If Form 5330 is filed after the due date of the return, the return will be considered late and late filing or late payment penalties may apply.
