IRS CP504: The Final Warning Before the IRS Strikes

IRS CP504: The Final Warning Before the IRS Strikes

July 16, 20252 min read

CP504 Isn’t a Drill. It’s the IRS Preparing to Strike.

When the CP504 notice lands in your mailbox, it may look like another bill. It’s not. It’s a final warning. The IRS is about to levy your state tax refund, seize your bank account, or garnish your wages.

If you’ve received CP504, you’re out of time to ignore the IRS. The agency has sent earlier notices, and now it's preparing for action. Real action. This isn’t theoretical anymore. The next move could be your worst financial nightmare.

"If you've received CP504, the IRS is done asking. Steve starts fighting."

Call (678) 717-9818 or email [email protected] before the IRS makes a move you can’t reverse.

What Is IRS Notice CP504?

CP504 is the IRS’s Notice of Intent to Levy. It states that if you don’t pay your tax debt or contact them immediately, they will begin collection actions against your assets. That can include:

  • Seizing your state tax refund

  • Garnishing wages

  • Freezing your bank account

  • Placing a lien on your property

This is the IRS turning up the heat.

Ignoring CP504 leads to real consequences. Once a levy hits, it’s extremely difficult to undo. The IRS doesn’t just stop. They escalate.

If this is in your hands, don’t wait. Call now. This is your last chance to get ahead of what’s coming.

Why You Got This Letter

The CP504 notice comes after the IRS has tried multiple times to resolve the balance with you. Typically, it follows:

  1. CP14 – Initial balance due notice

  2. CP501 and CP503 – Reminders

  3. CP504 – Final Notice before levy

By this point, the IRS assumes you’re either unwilling or unable to pay. They’re preparing to take matters into their own hands.
