CP90/CP297: Notice of Intent to Levy
Definition: CP90 (for individuals) or CP297 (for businesses) is the IRS’s final Notice of Intent to Levy. It warns that the IRS plans to seize assets—bank accounts, wages, property, or receivables—to collect unpaid taxes, unless you pay, appeal, or resolve the debt within 30 days.
Why It Matters: This is a serious escalation: after 30 days, levies can begin without further notice, freezing funds and disrupting life or operations. Many receive it due to overlooked prior letters, hardship, or disputes—not willful avoidance. Omni Tax Help acts fast on CP90/CP297 notices: we file Collection Due Process (CDP) hearing requests, negotiate releases, or secure alternatives like Offers in Compromise to halt levies and protect what matters most.
Key Details on the Notice:
- Balance Due: Total tax, penalties, and interest.
- 30-Day Deadline: To request a CDP hearing (preserves appeal rights).
- Levy Sources: Lists potential targets (e.g., banks, employers).
What to Do Next:
- Do not ignore—contact us immediately.
- Request a CDP hearing by the deadline (we prepare Form 12153).
- Explore payment plans, hardship status, or penalty abatement.
