I got a CP2000 letter. What does it mean?+
CP2000 means the IRS got a 1099 or W-2 that wasn't on your tax return, and they're proposing to add the income (with corresponding tax, penalty, and interest). You have 30 days to agree, partially agree, or disagree. If the IRS is right, agree. If you already reported the income or have legitimate offsets, disagree with documentation.
I got a CP14 saying I owe money. What's the best move?+
CP14 is an initial balance due notice. Options: (1) pay in full if you can, (2) set up an installment agreement online or via Form 9465, (3) dispute if you believe the amount is wrong. Ignoring CP14 leads to CP501, CP503, CP504, then LT11 — each with escalating collection actions.
I haven't opened the IRS letter for 2 months. Is it too late?+
Depends on the letter type. Some have 30-day windows (CP2000), others have longer (collection notices). The penalty for late response is usually loss of appeal rights or automatic assessment of the proposed change. Bring the letter — we'll tell you what window you have left.
