Answer first: For CP2000 in Houston, compare every proposed income change with your filed return and payer records, then respond by the deadline on the notice. A CP2000 proposes changes; it is not itself a bill or a bank levy. Executive Tax Solution offers Enrolled Agent representation remotely from Sachse for taxpayers across Texas.
⚠️ Active IRS Enforcement Alert
Sending ETS an email or website form does not by itself pause IRS bank holds, payroll levies, or wage garnishments. If your cash flow or corporate account is facing an active asset freeze, you need an immediate defense strategy.

Duplicate contract income in Houston
Illustrative example: A contractor sees the same customer payment reflected in two information documents, although the books record it once. This situation is hypothetical and is not presented as an Executive Tax Solution client result.
Trace invoice numbers and deposits to both documents and explain the duplication in the response.
What the notice or procedure means
A matching discrepancy can arise from missing information, duplicate reporting, an incorrect payer document, or an item reported elsewhere on the return. The response should reconcile the specific entries rather than simply state that the proposed balance is unaffordable.
Records to have ready
- Complete CP2000 including response pages
- Filed return with schedules
- All original and corrected payer statements
- A reconciliation of each disputed item
- Customer invoices and deposit matching worksheet
A mistake to avoid
Do not sign agreement with a proposed adjustment before checking the underlying records. A payment arrangement addresses an assessed debt; it does not establish whether the CP2000 proposal is correct.
Should I immediately file an amended return?
Follow the CP2000 instructions. The notice response and supporting explanation are central; an amended return is not a substitute for responding to the proposal.
