IRS Notices & Letters
“Why did the IRS send me a CP2000 notice and what do I do now?”
A CP2000 notice usually means the IRS matched information from third parties, such as W-2s, 1099s, or brokerage reports, against what was filed on a return and saw a difference. The notice can reflect missing income, reporting that was entered differently, or items that were not included on the original filing. The response often depends on the specific amounts shown, the documents supporting the return, and whether the IRS’s comparison is accurate. The notice should be reviewed carefully for the proposed changes, any interest or penalties, and the response options described in the letter. Going through your records with a CPA usually surfaces the answer in under an hour.
