After you file

Thanks for that response! 

After a 2 hr hold I received a what I would call an explanation but not any kind of resolution.

After much looking around and checking what I was told is that if you "filed" your return it was processed in and if payment was not received a CP14 was generated. Agent could not tell me if it was a "mistake" and if I  could ignore it or do anything about it. It seems to me that the tax return was not filed thus would not have happened.

 

So , my resolution is to just pay it as it's the one with the least hurdles.
