What Are IRS Notices?

The IRS sends various notices to inform taxpayers about outstanding balances, unfiled returns, audits, penalties, and potential enforcement actions like liens and levies. Some notices require immediate action, while others provide important updates on your tax status. Ignoring them can lead to serious consequences, including wage garnishments and asset seizures.
