If the IRS requires a response, it provides you with a response form in the same letter as your CP2000 notice, typically on one of the last pages. Simply complete this form, indicating whether you agree or disagree with the notice, sign, and send it back to the IRS, usually within 60 days.

If you agree with the notice, and don’t have any other income, expenses, or credits you need to report, follow the instructions on the notice, paying attention to any requested payment, if applicable. If you disagree, make sure to enclose any supporting documents you have with your response.

Receiving a CP2000 notice can be stressful, but the good news is that your local Jackson Hewitt Tax Pro is here to help year-round. Find tax services near you, then walk in or book now.
