American Marconi Wireless News - Received an IRS Letter? Clear Start Tax Breaks Down What IRS Notices Really Mean

IRVINE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / June 27, 2025 / Every year, millions of Americans receive unexpected mail from the IRS, and panic sets in before they even open the envelope. Clear Start Tax says the confusion is understandable, as IRS notices are often filled with complex codes, unclear instructions, and vague references to tax years or balances owed. To help, the company is releasing a free guide that breaks down the most common IRS letters and what they actually mean.

"Not every IRS letter is bad news," said the Head of Client Solutions at Clear Start Tax. "But when you don't know what the codes or deadlines mean, you could miss a chance to fix something simple - or fail to respond to something urgent."

The Most Common IRS Notices - And What They Really Mean

Each year, the IRS sends out millions of notices, many of which fall into a few predictable categories. Clear Start Tax helps taxpayers recognize the letter type, understand its intent, and know how to respond. Highlights include:

• CP14 - A balance due notice that's often the first sign of a missed payment

• CP504 - An urgent warning that a levy may be issued if no payment is made

• CP2000 - A proposed change based on unreported income (like 1099s or W-2 mismatches)

• LT11 - A final notice of intent to levy - with appeal rights attached

• LTR4883C / 5071C - Identity verification requests before the IRS will process a return

Clear Start Tax outlines what each notice typically means and when action may be needed to stay in good standing with the IRS.

Why Ignoring IRS Mail Can Be Costly

Failure to open or respond to IRS notices can escalate routine issues into aggressive enforcement. Many letters are auto-generated and follow a tight compliance timeline. Clear Start Tax warns that avoiding action can result in:

• Accruing interest and penalties

• Seizure of bank accounts or wages

• Loss of refund opportunities

• Automatic liens or levies

"Sometimes people ignore IRS notices because they feel overwhelmed or unsure of what to do next," said the Head of Client Solutions at Clear Start Tax. "But inaction is exactly what turns a fixable issue into a serious financial problem."

Many IRS notices are tied to unpaid balances or missing filings, both of which could qualify for relief under the IRS Fresh Start Program. By answering a few simple questions, taxpayers can find out if they're eligible and take the first step toward resolving their tax debt.
