The IRS uses Letter 672C to inform you of some action they made regarding a payment you made to them. Below are two examples of how the IRS uses Letter 672C.
The IRS often uses Letter 672C to inform you of their application of a particular payment you made. If there is any excess the IRS applies the over payment to any other balance due. But, the order in which payments are made is extremely important. The IRS will apply your payments to the earliest year for which you owe.
However, because of the collection statute of limitations, it is usually to your advantage to designate any voluntary payments you make to the IRS. Amounts you pay through a payment plan or a levy are not considered voluntary.
