A CP14 notice means that you owe money on unpaid taxes, usually because a payment is missing or incomplete.
If you already paid your tax bill, the IRS might not have processed it yet. Especially if your name is different from your 2022 tax return, as the IRS has to manually process your payment.
If you get a second notice, make sure you have enough money available and don't cancel your checks.

I live in California
Many taxpayers in California are getting CP 14 notices, even though the IRS payment deadline was extended due to disaster declarations.
Most California taxpayers still have until October 16 to pay, per the IRS.
You don't need to call the IRS or TurboTax to address this.
I disagree with the IRS
Check your payment records, like bank transactions and checks, to make sure that you or the IRS didn't miss anything.
Contact the IRS within 60 days from the date of your notice by:
- Calling the phone number on your notice
- Sending a response via certified mail
- Include a copy of the notice and allow 30–60 (or more) days for a resolution
