In News Release IR-2021-191, the IRS advised that three private companies had been awarded contracts to collect tax debts from taxpayers in new contracts beginning Sept. 23. The companies are CBE Group Inc. of Waterloo, Iowa; Coast Professional Inc. of Albion, N.Y.; and ConServe of Fairport, N.Y. CBE and ConServe were among the four previously contracted companies. The news release states that taxpayers will be contacted by one of the private collection agencies only after the IRS has notified the taxpayer and the taxpayer’s representative, if any, of the account’s assignment, along with the company’s name and contact information. The company will then send its own letter to the taxpayer and representative confirming the account transfer. Both letters will include information to help taxpayers identify the tax amount owed and confirm that any phone calls from the company are legitimate.

Many clients still have two questions: “Where’s my federal refund?” swiftly followed by, “Well, why haven’t they processed my return?”

“I’ve informed my clients of the backlog with the tax agencies. So my clients know that processing times are going to take much longer than normal,” said Robert Seltzer, a CPA at Seltzer Business Management in Los Angeles. “All we can do is check every couple months to get a status update.”
