IRS Notice Resources & FAQ

Many recent notices appear in your IRS Online Account, but not all do. The paper letter you receive is the official copy, so keep it and act on its deadline.

Letters from revenue officers or examiners, some older notices and certain business notices may only come by mail. If one is missing online, rely on the mailed copy.

A good response names the notice and tax year, states whether you agree or disagree, explains each disputed item, lists enclosed proof, and is signed and sent by the deadline.

Yes, but only after required notices, which include hearing rights. Notices such as CP504, CP90, LT11 and LT1058 are the warning stages, so act before they escalate.

Sometimes. Penalties can be removed through abatement, and qualifying taxpayers may settle through an offer in compromise. Tax and interest are normally owed in full otherwise, so we verify what is actually removable before promising anything.

Payment plans and settlements are not credit accounts. The consequences come from unresolved debt, liens and collection activity, which is another reason to resolve notices early.

Pricing depends on the work involved. We review your notice, confirm the scope and quote a fee in writing before any work begins. See the Pricing page.

You can end an engagement at any time by written notice. Your agreement explains how fees for work already completed are handled.
