If you’re a Tamarac resident who just opened the mailbox and found an envelope from the IRS—don’t panic. Whether it’s a CP504, CP2000, LT11, or another type of tax notice, the most important thing you can do is act quickly and strategically. At Polaris Tax & Accounting, we specialize in helping individuals and businesses across Tamarac resolve their IRS issues with confidence and clarity.
Why Did You Get a Letter from the IRS?
The IRS sends letters for several reasons:
- Unfiled tax returns
- Outstanding balances
- Income discrepancies
- Intent to levy or garnish wages
- Audit inquiries or identity verification
Common IRS notices include:
- CP504: Final Notice—Intent to Levy
- LT11: Intent to seize assets if balance remains unpaid
- CP2000: Reported income doesn’t match IRS records
- Letter 1058: Final notice before collection actions begin
If you received one of these, you may already be at the enforcement stage. It’s time to act.
Step 1: Don’t Ignore the Letter
Ignoring IRS letters is the worst thing you can do. The IRS doesn’t go away. Each notice has a deadline to respond. Missing that window can trigger wage garnishments, bank levies, or tax liens.
Step 2: Understand What the IRS Is Asking For
Every IRS notice includes a code and a reason. Read it carefully. Are they:
- Asking for payment?
- Requesting documents?
- Proposing changes to your return?
- Warning of upcoming collection actions?
If you’re unsure, we can help you decipher it during a confidential consultation.
Step 3: Evaluate Your Resolution Options
Once you know what the IRS wants, it’s time to plan your response. Polaris offers localized solutions for Tamarac taxpayers, including:
- Filing Back Tax Returns
- Offer in Compromise
- Installment Agreements
- Wage Garnishment Relief
- Tax Lien Assistance
We’ll review your situation, recommend the best approach, and handle all IRS correspondence directly.
Step 4: Avoid Common Pitfalls
Many Tamarac residents make the mistake of calling the IRS directly without representation or hiring national 1-800 firms that outsource the work. At Polaris:
- We never outsource. All work is handled in-house by licensed professionals.
- We use secure technology for document sharing and communication.
- We offer local support and real accountability.
Step 5: Get It in Writing
Never settle for verbal promises. IRS responses, payment agreements, and even penalty abatements need to be documented. We’ll ensure all resolutions are formalized and recorded to protect your interests.
