What are IRS CP Notices?
IRS CP (correspondence procedures) notices are letters sent by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to taxpayers to inform them of various issues related to their tax returns or accounts. These notices typically outline specific actions that the taxpayer needs to take, such as paying a balance due, providing additional information, or appealing a decision.

CP notices are numbered, with each number indicating a specific issue or topic. For example, a CP2000 notice typically indicates that the IRS has identified discrepancies between the taxpayer’s reported income and what the IRS has on file, and requests that the taxpayer provide additional information to resolve the discrepancy.

It’s important for taxpayers to respond promptly to CP notices and follow the instructions provided. Failure to respond or comply with the instructions can result in additional penalties or interest charges.
