A CP504 Notice from the IRS is not just a routine letter—it’s a warning that the IRS intends to levy your state tax refund or other assets if you don’t respond.

If you’ve received this notice, you still have time to act—but that window is closing fast. Polaris Tax & Accounting in Plantation helps clients stop IRS levies and negotiate better outcomes.

What Is a CP504 Notice?

The CP504 is a Final Notice of Intent to Levy on certain assets. It usually comes after:

  1. A balance due notice (CP14 or CP501)

  2. A failure to respond

  3. Escalation to enforced collection

The IRS is now warning you that they may seize your state tax refund, and if no action is taken, bank accounts, wages, and property could follow.

What Should You Do If You Receive a CP504?

1. Don’t Ignore It

Ignoring the CP504 can result in immediate levy action, including wage garnishments or account seizures. You’re still within a critical time window to act.

2. Verify the Balance and Return Status

Check if the amount is accurate. You may qualify for penalty abatement or a payment reduction. We can pull your IRS transcripts and determine next steps.

3. Evaluate Your Options:

Depending on your situation, you may qualify for:

4. Request a Collection Hold

Polaris can often request a temporary hold on collections while we evaluate your options. This can prevent levies from being issued while your case is under review.

5. File an Appeal If Necessary

If the IRS is moving too quickly or you disagree with the balance, we may recommend filing a Collection Due Process (CDP) hearing request.

How Polaris Helps You Respond to a CP504

  • Review your IRS notices and transcripts

  • Negotiate the best-fit resolution (OIC, Installment Agreement, CNC)

What Comes After CP504?

If unresolved, the IRS will likely issue:

  • Then, they may proceed with actual asset seizures

This is why it’s critical to act immediately—preferably within 30 days of receiving CP504.
