Don’t Ignore IRS Notices: A Guide for Michigan Taxpayers

October 25, 2024

Ignoring an IRS notice may seem easier than facing it head-on, but at Walker Tax Relief, we urge Michigan taxpayers to take these communications seriously. In this blog, we’ll discuss why ignoring IRS notices can lead to severe consequences and how we can help you navigate this process.

Understanding IRS Notices

IRS notices are sent for a variety of reasons, including:

  • Changes made to your tax return.
  • Requests for missing information.
  • Notifications of outstanding tax balances.

These notices are not just “junk mail”; they require your attention.

The Dangers of Ignoring IRS Notices

  1. Higher Tax Bills: Ignoring a notice that states you owe additional taxes can lead to the IRS issuing a final assessment, increasing your tax liability.
  2. Finality of Assessment: Most IRS notices come with a response deadline. Failure to respond can lead to irreversible tax assessments.
  3. Enforcement Actions: The IRS can initiate enforcement actions like wage garnishments and bank levies, which can severely disrupt your financial stability.
  4. Credit Impact: If the IRS places a lien on your property due to unpaid taxes, it can adversely affect your credit score.
