Whatever notice landed in your mailbox — we read these for a living.
CP, LT, and Letter series; state equivalents; matching notices, assessments, levies, and audits. If it came from a tax authority, bring it to the triage call.
What a All notices actually means
The IRS alone issues dozens of notice and letter types. Most fall into a few families: balance-due and collection (CP14, CP501–504), matching and underreporter (CP2000, CP2030), deficiency (CP3219A), identity and verification (5071C, 4883C), and examination letters.
The right response depends entirely on which family your notice belongs to and where it sits in the sequence. The triage call exists to identify that precisely, confirm your deadline, and quote the work in writing before anything begins.
Why you might have received one
- Identity-verification letters (5071C, 4883C, 5747C)
- Examination and audit letters (CP75, Letter 525, Letter 915)
- Penalty notices (CP15, CP215)
- Any state notice with a federal counterpart
Every tax notice has a deadline, and most escalate if ignored. The cost of acting early — a clean response inside the window — is almost always a fraction of the cost of letting it harden into an assessment or levy.
Common mistakes we see
- Assuming an unfamiliar notice isn't urgent
- Responding to the wrong unit or address
- Verifying identity online without confirming the letter is genuine
- Letting any deadline pass before getting it read
