There is no set number of notices that applies to every taxpayer’s situation, but it’s never a good idea to ignore correspondence from the IRS. If you’ve received two or more notices about delinquent tax returns or seeking payment of taxes owed – or have gotten even one certified letter from the IRS about your situation – you may be closer to a tax lien, tax levy, or wage garnishment situation than you realize. Immediate action may be required to prevent bank account or asset seizure.
