What does a CP2000 letter from the IRS mean?
The CP2000 is a computuer generated notice, and is quite common. If the information reported to the IRS by 3rd parties doesn’t seem to match the amounts on your return, you will receive one of these notices. It is not a bill. The IRS simply says that it is a letter to inform you about information they received that may affect your tax due.
How is a CP2000 notice different from a full audit?
