CP 2000 Help – IRS notice letter explained

August 6, 2018 | Mike Habib, EA

When a tax return’s information doesn’t match data reported (such as W2’s, 1099’s, 1098’s) to the IRS by employers, banks, investment broker and other third parties, the IRS will send a letter / notice to the taxpayer. The letter is called an IRS Notice CP 2000, and it gives detailed breakdown information about issues the IRS identified and provides steps taxpayers should take to resolve those issues.

The taxpayer must address these issues timely, failure to do so will result in an assessment of additional taxes, interest and penalties. It’s almost like a “grey-area” correspondence audit.

The IRS is actively and aggressively pursuing individual and business taxpayers with aggressive collection actions. IRS enforcement could be in the form of a tax lien, where the IRS files a lien at your county recorder’s office as a public record so the taxpayer cannot sell assets or property without paying their taxes, penalties and interest.

The IRS also enforces collection actions through tax levy and tax garnishment actions against the taxpayer paycheck and bank accounts. Taxpayers should avoid these enforcement actions by resolving their back tax matter with the IRS.

Final Notice of Intent of Levy – Help with IRS Letter 1058 or L-1058/LT11

June 15, 2015 | Mike Habib, EA

If you received a letter that reads ‘IRS Letter 1058/LT11’, know that it is a final notice from the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) reminding you about the balance you still owe. Moreover, if you do not resolve your delinquent matter, they will make an attempt to levy your bank accounts, garnish wages and other assets within the next thirty days. In most cases, a CP 504 (a final notice of your due balance) is sent before the IRS Letter 1058. Ideally, IRS Letter 1058/LT11 is more formal than other notices that you may have received by now. It will tell you that they will also be looking for other assets you own that can be levied. By then, you should have received prior notices that should have been addressed.

The program required other paid preparers to register with the IRS, pass a competency test and complete specified continuing education annually.
