Your Tax Letter Scan result
These results are general information generated by software. They are not legal advice, no attorney has reviewed them, and they may not capture everything in your situation. No attorney-client relationship exists between you and anyone as a result of this diagnostic.
Tax Letter Scan is a self-directed technology platform that provides general educational information. It does not provide legal, tax, accounting, or financial advice, and it does not create an attorney-client or other professional relationship. No professional reviews your scan or any generated materials. You decide how to proceed and should consult a qualified professional for advice about your facts.
What this code means
The IRS says CP2000 is sent when income or payment information from a third party does not match the tax return. It explains proposed changes and is not automatically a bill or formal audit.
Compare each income item and proposed change with your return, W-2s, 1099s, basis records, and other source documents.
General next-step checklist
Mark each item as correct, incorrect, or not yours.
If the proposal is correct, follow the notice instructions for agreeing and paying or correcting the return.
If it is not correct, send the explanation and supporting records requested by the notice before its response date.
What this result cannot tell you
A CP2000 result cannot determine whether the proposed change is correct without the underlying return and records.

If you want an attorney to review your situation, Law Office of Alexander Powell, PLLC is a separate law firm owned by our founder, Alexander Powell. It handles tax controversy matters in the District of Columbia and Maryland. It is a different company from Cited Authorities LLC, and choosing to contact it is entirely up to you. Contacting the firm does not make you a client. The firm becomes your attorney only if it accepts your matter after a conflict check and you both sign an engagement agreement. Until then, do not treat anything you send as protected by attorney-client privilege, and do not rely on any deadline running or being handled on your behalf.
