What does Notice CP297 mean?

CP297 is the business equivalent of a final notice of intent to levy. It warns that the IRS intends to levy business assets and gives a 30-day window to request a Collection Due Process hearing.

Why did I get it?

The IRS issues Notice CP297 when its records show a specific condition on your account. The notice itself states the amount, the tax year, and the date the IRS is working from. If any of that looks wrong, it often is worth challenging, and confirming the details is the first thing we do.

What happens if I ignore it?

If you do nothing, the IRS can proceed to levy your wages, bank accounts, or other property, and you may lose valuable appeal rights that expire with the deadline. Every notice has a response window, and the options are widest before it closes.
