Taxpayers can \u201credo\u201d the process, and the IRS will consider the information you provide.<\/p>\n<p>But if you want to avoid all of this, get an early extension of time to respond, and reply to the IRS by the new, agreed-upon deadline.<\/p>\n<h2>How to get expert help<\/h2>\n<p>Learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/tax-center\/irs\/audits-and-tax-notices\/irs-notice-cp2000\/\">how to respond to a CP2000 notice<\/a>.
