If you received an IRS CP2000 notice, you're likely confused, stressed, and wondering what to do next. At Rona Law Firm, we help clients throughout Southern California handle CP2000 issues and other IRS tax notices with confidence.


What Is IRS Notice CP2000?

The IRS sends CP2000 notices when the income they have on file—such as from a 1099, W-2, or brokerage account—doesn't match the income reported on your tax return. This mismatch often triggers a proposed tax adjustment, which may result in a tax balance due.

Although a CP2000 is not technically an audit, it can still result in IRS penalties and interest if not addressed correctly.


Why You Should Take CP2000 Seriously

Ignoring a CP2000 notice can lead to a tax bill, collection actions, and even liens or levies down the road. Responding promptly and accurately is critical to protect yourself.


What to Do If You Receive IRS Notice CP2000

  • Read the notice carefully to understand what the IRS is proposing.

  • Compare their figures with your records.

  • Decide whether you agree or disagree with the IRS.

  • Gather supporting documents, like 1099s, stock sales reports, or corrected W-2s.

  • Respond within the IRS deadline (typically 30 days).

  • Contact a tax resolution attorney for professional help.
