IRS problem resolution
An IRS notice has a deadline. It also has a process. Liens, levies, and notices, worked from first call to closed case.

The notice table
Find your notice by the code in the corner
Every notice carries a reason and a deadline, printed near the top. Match yours below.
| Notice | What it means | Deadline reality | What we do |
|---|---|---|---|
| CP2000 | The IRS compared your return against income reported by employers, banks, or brokers and found a difference. It's a proposed change, not a bill and not an audit. | 30 days from the notice date | Respond with documentation showing the figures are already accounted for, or agree to the change. |
| CP503 | A second reminder that a balance is still due after an earlier notice. | 10 days to pay or arrange a plan | Confirm the balance and set up a payment arrangement if you can't pay in full. |
| CP504 | A collection notice — the balance was already assessed. It means the IRS intends to hold your state refund against it and move toward a levy on other property if unresolved. | Confirmed at consultation | Full payment, a payment plan, or a formal dispute at this stage all stop the next step. |
| LT11 | A final notice of intent to levy — opens a window to request a Collection Due Process hearing before the IRS can levy wages, bank accounts, or other property. | 30 days to request a CDP hearing (Form 12153) | File Form 12153 within the window to preserve your right to appeal the collection action. |
| CP90 | Final notice of intent to levy and your right to a hearing — similar to LT11, issued for certain balance-due accounts. | 30 days to request a CDP hearing | The same Form 12153 process as LT11 applies. |
| CP14 | The first notice that a balance is due, sent shortly after a return is processed. | 21 days to pay or respond | Confirm the balance is correct and arrange payment before it escalates to a CP503. |
