Got an IRS Letter by Certified Mail? Do NOT Ignore It!

by | Feb 9, 2026

If you received an IRS letter by certified mail, this is not a routine notice — and ignoring it can seriously limit your options. When the IRS sends something by certified mail, it usually means:

Your case has reached a serious stage,

Deadlines now matter

The IRS may be preparing for enforcement actions – You will be LEVIED!

Certified IRS letters often include notices such as

• Final Notice of Intent to Levy

• Collection Due Process (CDP) hearing rights

• Federal tax lien filings

• Appeals and enforcement-related deadlines

In this video, I explain:

✅ Why the IRS uses certified mail

✅ Which IRS letters are sent certified (and which are not)

✅ What certified IRS mail usually means for taxpayers

✅ Why missing deadlines can cost you important rights

✅ What you should do to protect yourself

If you owe the IRS — especially larger balances — acting early gives you more options and helps prevent levies, garnishments, and liens.
