Common to this kind of document, not read from yours. Which of these apply to the copy in your hand is exactly what an analysis answers.
Immediate seizure of state income tax refunds to satisfy the debt.
Initiation of search for other seizable assets (bank accounts, wages).
Accrual of failure-to-pay penalties and interest charges.
Establishment of a federal tax lien on your property.
The sequence matters. Each step assumes the one before it is done — doing them out of order is how people end up agreeing to something they could have disputed.
Verify the total balance due, tax periods, and penalty calculations shown.
Check if you qualify for an installment agreement, Offer in Compromise, or Currently Not Collectible status.
Make a payment or set up a payment plan immediately to halt the levy.
Contact the IRS at the number listed on the notice if you disagree with the balance.
General answers about this kind of document. What yours says is a different question, and one only your copy can answer.
No, a CP504 notice is primarily used to seize state tax refunds. However, it serves as a final warning before the IRS issues a Final Notice of Intent to Levy, which can target wages, bank accounts, and physical property.
You must pay the balance or establish a payment agreement within 30 days from the date printed on the CP504 notice.
If the one in your hand is not quite this, it may be one of these.
