If you've recently received a LT38 Notice in your mailbox, you're likely experiencing a mix of confusion and concern. This notice serves as a clear signal from the IRS that they are resuming their normal collection activities, and it's essential to understand what this means for you and how Advanced Tax Solutions can assist in navigating this situation.
Understanding the LT38 Notice
The LT38 Notice is, in essence, a "warning shot" from the IRS, indicating that you are on their radar for having an outstanding tax balance. During the pandemic, the IRS's collection efforts, including the sending of notices to taxpayers with balances due or to non-filers, were significantly delayed. However, as the IRS moves toward resuming its standard operations, the LT38 Notice is being dispatched to remind taxpayers of their obligations.
This notice includes a deadline by which the owed amount must be settled or an agreement entered into with the IRS. Failure to respond by this deadline could result in the IRS proceeding with the next steps in their collection process, essentially picking up where they left off before the pandemic-induced pause.
