IRS Notices & Letters

“I received a CP2000 letter from the IRS, what does it mean?”

High urgencyQuick Question · 30 min · $95

A CP2000 letter usually means the IRS found a mismatch between information on a tax return and data reported by employers, banks, brokers, or other payers. It does not automatically mean an audit, but it often signals that income, withholding, or certain credits may need review. The response can depend on what records were reported, whether the taxpayer already accounted for the item on the return, and whether supporting documents are available. In many cases, the notice includes a proposed change and a summary of how the IRS reached it. Working through the specifics with a CPA is the cleanest way to land on the right move.
