What is a CP148A Notice?

Written by Nate Richards EA | Jan 02, 2018

Receiving a tax notice or letter is never a pleasant experience. It can be confusing and frustrating if you don't understand why you received the notice in the first place.  That's why we wrote The Ultimate Guide to Tax Notices and created a tax notice library filled with the most common tax notices and letters you might receive.  We believe the process of staying compliant with your taxes should be as effortless as possible.

General Information

  • What is the notice number?  CP148A
  • What government agency sends this notice?  The Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
  • What is this notice about?  The IRS changed your mailing address because they received an employment tax return or Form 8822-B, Change of Address or Responsible Party – Business, with an address different from what’s on their records. The IRS sends CPs 148 to both the employer’s former (CP148B) and new (CP148A) addresses to confirm the address change.
  • What should you do if you receive this notice?
    • If the address change is correct, you don’t need to do anything.
    • If the address change is not correct, please return the notice to the IRS with a completed Form 8822-B, Change of Address or Responsible Party - Business.
