Understanding CP2000 Notice

IRS Notice CP2000 is an automated letter stating that income reported to the IRS by third parties (W-2s, 1099s, K-1s) doesn't match what you reported on your tax return. The IRS proposes additional taxes, penalties, and interest based on this discrepancy. However, CP2000 is often wrong or overstated—the IRS doesn't account for legitimate deductions, basis in investments, or other factors that reduce the actual tax owed.

IRS Authority: IRC § 6201, IRC § 6213

Frequently Asked Questions

What is IRS Notice CP2000?

CP2000 is an automated notice stating that income reported to the IRS by employers, banks, or brokerages doesn't match what you reported on your return. It proposes additional taxes based on this discrepancy.

How long do I have to respond to CP2000?

You generally have 30 days from the notice date to respond. If you don't respond, the IRS will automatically assess the proposed tax, plus penalties and interest.
