Respond to your CP504 notice
The IRS is notifying you of its intent to levy. This is urgent — after 30 days, the IRS can seize your property, wages, or bank accounts. Upload the notice, verify the amount, and prepare a response to request a Collection Due Process hearing before enforcement begins.
What is a CP504 notice?
A CP504 is an Intent to Levy notice. It's the IRS's final warning before seizing your property to satisfy an unpaid tax debt. After 30 days from the notice date, the IRS can levy your bank accounts, garnish your wages, or seize other assets — without further notice.
You have the right to request a Collection Due Process (CDP) hearing by filing Form 12153. This hearing gives you the opportunity to propose alternatives: an installment agreement, an offer in compromise, or to challenge the validity of the debt. Requesting the hearing automatically stops collection action until the IRS makes a determination.
If you miss the 30-day window, you lose your right to a CDP hearing. You can still request an Equivalent Hearing within one year, but the IRS can continue collection during that process. Act immediately — this is the most time-sensitive notice in the IRS collection sequence.
