LETTER 3174
IRS Letter 3174 is a notice from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) informing taxpayers of their intent to collect unpaid taxes through enforced collection. This letter is typically sent after the IRS has already sent a Final Notice of Intent to Levy (CP504), which gives taxpayers 30 days to pay the balance due or make arrangements to pay. It is a warning that the IRS is prepared to take action to collect unpaid taxes. This may include levying wages, bank accounts, or other assets. The IRS is not required to send Letter 3174 before taking enforcement action, but they do so as a courtesy to give taxpayers a final chance to resolve their tax debt.
Reasons why it happened:- The taxpayer has not paid the balance due on their tax account after receiving a Final Notice of Intent to Levy.
