If you’re in Plantation, FL and just received an IRS CP2000 notice, you’re not alone — and you shouldn’t panic.

This notice typically means the IRS found a mismatch between your tax return and income records from employers, banks, or brokerages. It is not an audit — but ignoring it can quickly lead to penalties, interest, or a full audit.

Understanding the CP2000 Notice

The CP2000 is triggered when information reported to the IRS (such as from a W-2 or 1099) doesn’t match what you reported on your tax return. It typically proposes an adjustment and a balance due — sometimes significantly more than expected.

Example: You’re an independent contractor in Plantation and forgot to include a 1099-NEC from a side job. The IRS system notices and issues a CP2000 proposing extra tax, interest, and penalties.

What Happens If You Ignore It?
