Unreported Income Tax Attorney In Michigan
If you get a CP2000 notice from the IRS, it is not a full audit notice. Instead, it is an IRS mismatch notice. The notice essentially means that there is a mismatch between your reported income and the reports the IRS received from other entities, such as your employer. You have 30 days to submit a CP2000 response.

What Is A CP2000 Notice?
A CP2000 notice is an automated IRS mismatch notice. There could be a mismatch between different forms, such as a W-2, 1099 or K-1. It will propose changes to your tax payment, and you have the option to either agree, disagree or partially agree.
Why Would You Receive A CP2000 Notice?
Common triggers for a CP2000 notice include missing or late 1099s, identity mix-ups, corrected W-2s, brokerage sales, platform sales and payer documentation errors.
Should You Choose An Attorney Over A CPA For CP2000?
The benefits of working with a CP2000 defense attorney instead of a CPA start with their legal strategy and consistent advocacy, as you may need to go through appeals or litigation. You also gain the attorney-client privilege to keep your information confidential. Our team includes an attorney with extensive experience in taxation issues that many CPAs cannot offer.
