IRS Notices & Letters
“My IRS CP2000 notice came in; what does it mean and how do I deal with it?”
A CP2000 notice usually means the IRS’s records do not match the income or other tax information reported on a return, often because of forms like W-2s, 1099s, or brokerage statements. The response often depends on which items are listed, whether the IRS’s figures are incomplete or duplicated, and whether supporting records can explain the difference. It can also matter if the notice reflects a simple reporting mismatch or a broader issue with deductions, basis, or withheld amounts. Reviewing the notice carefully and comparing it with the original return and source documents is often the starting point. Working through the specifics with a CPA is the cleanest way to land on the right move.
