Why Ignoring IRS Notices in Connecticut is a Bad Idea 

Receiving an IRS notice can be a stressful experience, but ignoring it is never the solution. At Rappaport Tax Relief, we understand the challenges that Connecticut residents face when dealing with tax issues. In this blog, we’ll explore the reasons why you should never ignore IRS notices and how we can help you navigate the process.

 

What Are IRS Notices?

IRS notices are official communications sent to taxpayers for various reasons, including:

  • Informing you of changes to your tax return.
  • Requesting additional information.
  • Notifying you of unpaid taxes or penalties.

Ignoring these notices can lead to serious consequences.

 

The Risks of Ignoring IRS Notices

  1. Increased Tax Liability: If you ignore a notice that indicates you owe additional taxes, the IRS may assess those taxes, along with penalties and interest.
  2. Final Assessment: Many IRS notices come with a deadline for response. If you don’t respond within the specified time, the IRS will finalize their assessment, leaving you with little recourse.
  3. Collection Actions: The IRS has the authority to initiate collection actions, including wage garnishments, bank levies, and property liens.
  4. Damage to Credit: Unresolved tax issues can lead to liens against your property, negatively affecting your credit score.
