      What should you do?

      The first thing to do is to pull out your copy of the tax return. Review all income lines on page one of the 1040. Check to see if there is income accidentally not reported.

      If you disagree with this notice, contact the IRS at the telephone number listed at the top right corner of the Notice. Be prepared to explain why the adjustments made by the IRS are incorrect. Contact our office to discuss your options and appeal rights.

      If you agree with the error, you now have a tax balance due and owing to the IRS.

      What can you expect next?

      IRS letter CP22A considered a tax bill. The IRS asks that you pay the balance due in full. You do have options to setup arrangements with the IRS if you are unable to pay the balance due in full. It is in your best interest to pay as quickly as possible to minimize penalties and interest.

      If the tax bill is left unpaid, the IRS may move forward with filing Federal Tax Liens and/or Tax Levies on your wages, bank accounts, state & federal tax refunds, etc.
