Why January Is One of the Most Important Months for Tax Debt
The IRS operates on predictable cycles, and early January is when activity increases significantly. Here is what you can expect:1. A Surge in IRS Notices
CP14 balance-due notices, CP501 reminders, CP504 levy warnings, and Final Notices often begin issuing in larger volumes as systems reset.2. Wage Garnishments and Levies Often Resume
If your case was delayed during year-end or the shutdown period, enforced collections can begin again in Q1.3. Tax Season Begins, but Collections Do Not Pause
Even during filing season, the IRS continues its collection efforts. Taxpayers who wait until February or March often face longer delays and fewer resolution options.4. Early Action Leads to Better Outcomes
Starting the resolution process in January typically results in more flexible payment options, reduced risk of enforcement, and better overall outcomes.Why 2026 Is the Right Time to Resolve Your IRS Issues
The start of a new year brings a fresh financial slate. You have access to year-end statements, updated income information, and a clear window to resolve tax issues before the IRS systems escalate notices or enforcement.Addressing tax debt early in the year gives you:
- A chance to fix issues before additional notices arrive
- Time to prepare and file old or missing returns
- The ability to negotiate before tax season overwhelms the IRS
- Control over your situation instead of reacting under pressure
