  3. The IRS sent CP15B to notify you of the tax period covered by the penalty and to request payment of the balance due. If you disagree with the penalty, pay the tax withheld for one employee for each of the tax periods on the notice. Then, file a Form 843, Claim for Refund and Request for Abatement<\/em> for the amount you paid.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
