How IRS collection escalates.
Collection usually follows a sequence of notices, and each one leaves less room to respond. Find the letter you have.
- CP14A balance is due. The first bill, and the best time to act.
- CP501 / CP503Reminders that the balance is still unpaid.
- CP504Notice of intent to levy. Collection is escalating.
- LT11 / Letter 1058Final notice of intent to levy, with the right to request a Collection Due Process hearing.
- Levy or garnishmentThe IRS can take funds from a bank account or part of your wages.
Typical order of collection notices. Your case may differ; the record Bridge pulls in the first phase shows exactly where it stands.
- Letter 3172
- A federal tax lien has been filed, with the right to request a hearing.
- CP2000
- The IRS proposes changes because reported income does not match its records.
