Cp575

[thomtax]

Client is trying to get things straightened out with Medicare. They are demanding a copy of CP575, which was issued in 1985 and has been lost over the years. Can someone tell me the quickest and easiest way to get a copy of this, if possible. Or, in the alternative, some type of confirmation from the IRS.

Thanks to all.

Not sure if I can help

The last time I checked, the IRS was not able to reissue or provide a copy of a CP575 notice.

I believe that they can issue a 147C letter that is usually accepted in lieu of the CP575.

You might try calling one of these numbers for help with the above:

Individuals: 800-829-1040
Businesses: 800-829-4933
Exempt Organizations, Retirement Plan Administrators, and Government Entities: 877-829-5500

Thanks, Doug. I had heard that it could not be reissued, but as often as things seem to change, was hoping. Of course, I should know, the changes are never for the better for the taxpayer.
