IRS Notice?
Don’t Panic!
Getting a letter from the IRS can be scary, but don’t panic. Millions of notices are sent out each year. If you’re received a tax notice that you have unfiled returns or owe a balance, there are tax relief programs available to help. At IRS Fresh Start, we’ll connect you to tax experts who will help you find an affordable solution and keep the IRS off your back.
Why Did The IRS Send Me a Letter?
The IRS sends various types of correspondence to taxpayers, including tax notices and letters. Not all are bad. In some cases, they are requesting additional information to assist with processing your tax return or letting you know that you are due a refund. Others, however, may notify you of a balance owed or a missing return.
Some of the most common notices include CP521 (installment payment due), CP504 (balance owed), CP44 (delay in processing your return), and CP180 (missing schedule or form).
