IRS CP2000 · PROPOSED CHANGES
Disagree with a CP2000 notice? Get help reviewing it.
FEDTAX® can compare the proposed changes with your return and supporting records, then discuss response preparation and any related tax concerns.
- Compare the proposed income and adjustments with your records.
- Review W-2s, 1099s, investment basis, or other supporting documents.
- Discuss a response and next steps if the adjustment is correct.
You do not need every document ready to start.
UNDERSTAND YOUR SITUATION
Check the proposed adjustment before agreeing.
A CP2000 proposes changes after information reported by third parties does not match your return. It is not itself a bill or an audit. Missing stock basis, duplicate income, or other discrepancies may require supporting records and a clear response.
Already receiving collection notices?
Tell us about the most recent letter, any deadline shown, and whether wages or bank funds are affected. Missing tax returns can be part of the same review.
Contacting FEDTAX does not itself stop collection or extend an IRS deadline.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you get started.
Should I assume the full CP2000 amount is correct?
No. Review the details and supporting records before agreeing or disagreeing. An actual response must follow the notice instructions and deadline.
What should I have ready for the consultation?
Bring your most recent IRS or state notice, the tax years involved, and any records you have. If you are unsure what is missing or how much you owe, tell us. You do not need to guess.
Is the consultation free?
Yes. The initial consultation is free. Investigation, tax preparation, and representation are paid services. We explain the proposed scope and fees before you engage us. Results depend on your circumstances and the applicable rules.
