IRS Notices Don’t Go Away — Here’s What Happens If You Ignore Them

When an IRS notice arrives, many people hope it’s just a mistake or that it can be dealt with later. Unfortunately, “later” is exactly when the IRS will have already moved to stronger enforcement.

The process starts small — a letter about a balance due or a discrepancy. If you ignore it, the IRS sends more urgent demands. Eventually, without any response, they can garnish your wages, freeze your bank account, or place a lien on your property.
