IRS Notices & Letters
“What do I do if the IRS sent me a CP504 notice?”
A CP504 notice is typically a serious IRS collection notice that can signal an unpaid balance and possible next steps in the collection process. The practical response often depends on whether the notice is accurate, whether prior IRS correspondence was missed, and whether the account shows a balance that can be paid, disputed, or resolved through an installment arrangement or other relief. It also helps to review the notice date, the tax periods listed, and any penalties or interest that may be included, since those details can affect the path forward and the urgency of the situation. Going through your records with a CPA usually surfaces the answer in under an hour.
