Written correspondence between the IRS and the taxpayer
Most people are reluctant to open and read letters from the IRS, particularly when they think the letter contains bad news. But the letter may not contain bad news, and if you do not respond, you might only make the matter worse.
Most importantly, many Internal Revenue Service letters trigger the running of statutory periods. This means that you must take some action within the time frame specified in the letter. If you do not act within the time outlined in the letter, you may lose fundamental rights. The IRS collection process allows them to immediately seize your assets.
