Video Transcript

Received an IRS CP71 notice in the mail. It's a reminder that your tax debt is still outstanding and if ignored, the consequences can be severe. Here's what you need to do now. The IRS CP71 notice is an annual statement sent to remind taxpayers of unpaid balances. It's often a precursor to aggressive collection actions like liens or levies. If you don't act, interest and penalties will continue to grow. Worse, the IRS may garnish wages, freeze bank accounts, or seize property. Here's what to do if you received an IRS CP71 notice. Review the notice for accuracy. Contact the IRS to discuss payment options. Seek professional help to explore solutions like Offer in Compromise or installment agreements.
