IRS Notices & Letters
“As a restaurant owner, I got an IRS notice about underreported income, what now?”
A CP2000 notice usually means the IRS has matched information from third parties, such as employers, banks, or brokerage firms, against a tax return and found differences that may affect income, deductions, or credits. The response often depends on what the notice says, whether the reported amounts were already included on the return, and whether supporting records are available. It can also matter if the issue involves wages, investment income, or another item that was omitted or reported differently. Reviewing the notice carefully and comparing it to the original return and documents is often the starting point. Sitting down with a CPA for thirty minutes is usually enough to draw a clean line on this.
