The IRS issues Notice CP508C 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.
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.
Three steps, whether you handle it yourself or have us step in.
