Received an IRS Notice? Here’s What You Must Do Next

September 24, 20253 min read

Getting mail from the IRS is not like any other letter. When the envelope shows up, your heart races, your stomach drops. That notice is the IRS telling you they found a problem. It may be back taxes, unreported income, missing returns, or payment demands. One wrong move can cost you money, your credit, or even your business.

The very first decision you make matters most: Will you panic, ignore it, and allow the IRS to tighten its grip or will you get professional help immediately?

That’s where Steve Perry, EA at Books, Taxes & More, steps in. Steve has fought the IRS for years and knows exactly how to calm the storm, defend your rights, and negotiate outcomes that save his clients from devastating financial ruin. Reach him today at (678) 717-9818.

Why IRS Notices Are So Dangerous

IRS notices are not suggestions, they are demands backed by law. Ignoring a notice has consequences that escalate quickly:

  • Bank accounts can be frozen and emptied overnight.

  • Wages can be garnished before your paycheck even clears.

  • Tax liens can damage your credit and destroy chances of getting loans.

  • Business accounts can be seized, leaving you unable to operate.

The IRS has only one playbook: collect aggressively. Without an advocate, their actions can swallow your finances and leave you vulnerable.

The Hard Truth About Ignoring Notices

If you do nothing, the IRS starts turning the screws. First the notices stack up. Then the collection threats arrive. Soon your accounts are targeted, your wages slashed, or your property threatened.

And here’s the cruel part: once the IRS begins seizing, they do not stop until the debt is satisfied, or you get help forcing them to negotiate.

Do not wait. The IRS never forgets a debt, and every delay compounds penalties, interest, and stress.

Why Acting Now Saves You Money and Sanity

IRS issues do not disappear. Penalties and interest grow by the day, and enforcement action is always closer than you think. Acting with an expert like Steve Perry not only protects your income and assets but also buys you peace of mind.

Every notice has a deadline, which means your time to respond is limited. Taking control early allows Steve to structure a strategy that works for you, whether it’s negotiating a payment plan, stopping levies, or finding IRS relief programs.
