“What should I do after getting a CP504 notice from the IRS?”

High urgencyQuick Question · 30 min · $95

A CP504 notice usually signals that the IRS believes a balance is still unresolved and that collection activity may be moving forward. The next steps often depend on whether the notice is tied to a filing issue, a payment issue, or a disputed balance, as well as whether prior IRS letters were missed or responded to. The account transcript, any installment arrangement already in place, and the timing of recent payments can all affect what the notice means in practice. If the notice looks connected to identity theft or a scam, that changes the response as well. Sitting down with a CPA for thirty minutes is usually enough to draw a clean line on this.

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.
