Received CP504 But Already Paid?
We clarify why the IRS is still contacting you and what's required next—based on records and federal tax procedure.
When This Happens
CP504 is a "Notice of Intent to Levy" — it means the IRS intends to take enforcement action if a balance remains unpaid within 30 days.
If you're still receiving CP504 notices after paying:
- •The IRS may not have recorded your payment
- •There may be a penalty or interest accrual not yet reflected
- •Your payment may have been applied to a different year
- •There may be an additional tax year still outstanding
How a Compliance Review Clarifies This
By reviewing your IRS records, we determine:
- •Whether your payment was recorded and where it was applied
- •What balance, if any, remains outstanding
- •Why the IRS is still contacting you
- •What steps the IRS requires next
This clarity lets you respond accurately to the IRS — or determine whether an error needs to be corrected.
Don't respond blindly. Understand what the IRS records actually show.
