IRS CP521 Notice: Your Installment Agreement Has Been Terminated - Immediate Action Required

Receiving an IRS CP521 notice is a serious setback that requires immediate attention. This notice means your installment agreement with the IRS has been terminated, and all the protections it provided are gone. Without quick action, you'll face immediate collection actions including liens, levies, and asset seizure that your payment plan had been preventing.

What is an IRS CP521 Notice?

The IRS CP521 notice is an Installment Agreement Termination Notice sent to taxpayers whose payment arrangements with the IRS have been canceled.

Critical Features of the CP521 Notice:

  • Immediate termination of your payment arrangement
  • Full balance becomes due immediately
  • Collection actions can resume without additional notice
  • Reason for termination explained
  • Options for reinstatement or alternative arrangements
  • 30-day appeal rights for disputing termination
  • Warning of collection consequences if no action taken
