IRS Notice & Audit Support
A practical starting point
Received an IRS notice and not sure what it means?
The starting point is the actual letter: its notice number, tax year, stated issue, and response date. A balance-due notice, an information request, and a proposed change to a return call for different responses. Do not assume a letter means an audit, or that the proposed amount is automatically correct.
Provide every page and any earlier correspondence, together with the return involved. We compare the notice with the filing and supporting records, identify missing information, and discuss the appropriate next step. Representation requires the right authorization and an agreed scope; sending a website inquiry alone does not establish representation or extend a deadline.
What to agree before work begins
Confirm whether the engagement covers explanation, response preparation, or authorized representation. Keep copies of submissions and delivery evidence, and monitor the stated response timeline.
Services we can include
The engagement letter confirms the work, reporting periods, responsibilities, and fee. Select the support you need rather than assuming every item is part of one package.
- IRS and state notice response and correspondence
- Audit representation
- Back-tax filing and catch-up returns
- Penalty abatement requests
- Installment agreements and resolution options
