IRS Notices & Letters

“I received a CP504 letter from the IRS, what should I do with it?”

High urgencyQuick Question · 30 min · $95

A CP504 notice usually signals that the IRS is escalating a balance-due matter, so the key context is the tax year involved, whether the notice matches your records, and whether any prior notices were already received. It often helps to review the account balance, check for missing payments or unfiled returns, and look for any levy-related language that may affect bank accounts or refunds. The response can vary depending on whether the issue is a true unpaid liability, a filing mismatch, or a notice sent in error. A focused session can map this against your actual situation in plain English.

In your 30-minute session, the KGOB advisor handling it will:

  • Read your exact situation and tell you, in plain English, what’s actually going on.
  • Lay out your options and the trade-offs — no jargon, no judgment.
  • Give you a clear next step you can act on, whether that’s with us or on your own.
