🔍 What Is a CP504 Notice?
A CP504 Notice is an important letter from the Internal Revenue Service that lets you know:
- You still owe federal tax, and
- The IRS is seriously moving toward collection action.
This isn’t just a reminder — it’s a final notice before enforced collection, such as wage garnishment, bank levies, or liens.
📌 Why You Got This Notice
The IRS sends a CP504 when:
✔ You didn’t pay your taxes by the original due date,
✔ You ignored previous notices and balances haven’t been resolved,
✔ There’s an unresolved balance after penalties and interest.
This notice usually comes 60–120 days after earlier notices, so by this point, the IRS expects you to take action.
⚠️ What Happens If You Do Nothing
If you don’t respond or resolve the balance, the IRS can move closer to legally beginning:
- Wage garnishment – taking money directly from your paycheck
- Bank levy – withdrawing funds from your accounts
- Federal tax lien – claiming legal rights against your property
This makes a CP504 notice serious.
🛠 What You Should Do Next
Step 1: Don’t panic. You still have options.
Step 2: Confirm the balance.
Check your IRS Online Account or call the IRS to confirm the amount listed on the notice.
Step 3: Evaluate your options (this is where strategy matters):
✅ Pay the balance in full
✅ Request a payment plan (installment agreement)
✅ Submit an Offer in Compromise (if eligible)
✅ Ask for penalty abatement (first-time or reasonable cause)
✅ Get professional help (recommended if the amount is large or complex)
