IRS CP503 Notice — Second Balance Due Notice
This is the IRS's second reminder — the next step is a levy warning.
A CP503 is the IRS's second notice that you have an unpaid tax balance. It follows a CP501 that went unanswered. The next notice in the sequence is the CP504 — the IRS's urgent levy warning. Act now to avoid having your wages, bank accounts, or state tax refunds levied.
What Should I Do Immediately?

- If you believe the amount is wrong, respond in writing with documentation
