Here’s what HIVE AI had to say about “How can taxpayers best respond to an IRS CP53E notice?”:
Best way to respond to an IRS CP53E notice
- Act within 30 days of the date on the CP53E notice. The notice gives you a limited window to add or update a bank account so the IRS can issue your refund by direct deposit. 1
- Use your IRS Online Account to add or update the bank account information. The IRS indicates this is the required method; IRS employees can’t update your bank account information for CP53E by phone. 1
- Double-check the account/routing information before submitting, since you generally only get one opportunity to make the update; if the deposit is rejected by the bank, the IRS indicates it will issue a paper check instead. 1
- If you do not respond, the IRS indicates it will issue a paper check after about 6 weeks. 1
