Has the IRS sent you a collections letter? How serious is that letter? Can you stroll to the phones, or do you need to break and run to the phones and call for help?
Listed below are the most common IRS collection letters that one may receive when they have tax debt. I’ve listed them in order from stroll to the phones (low detection on the IRS radar) to break and run to the phone lines & get help (requires immediate action).
CP14 – Casually stroll (No sense of real urgency).
CP501 – Put a little pep in your step (Take notice).
CP503 – Speed walk (Decide to do something).
CP504 – Start Jogging (things are getting very serious).
Letter 1058/LT11 – (Final Levy Notice)—Run like you’re trying to lose weight. —act now or lose your collection due process rights (your right to a hearing and a stop of collection).
CP90/CP91 – Run like you’re trying to lose weight. Another form of Final Notice of Intent to Levy.
CP71 – 10 Day Final Notice of Intent to Levy. RUN LIKE YOU’RE BEING CHASED IN A HORROR MOVIE. Act now, you are out of time.
