Is The IRS Contacting You?
The worst mistake you can make with an IRS notice is ignoring it. Open the letter, read it carefully, and note your deadlines. The IRS often provides responses, appeals, or clarifications, but only if you respond promptly. Waiting too long can result in increased penalties, liens, or bank levies that are much harder to reverse.
Keep Records and Know Your Options
Whether it’s a simple letter, tax bill, or audit notice, hold onto copies of everything and keep your documents organized. You might have more options than you realize, such as installment agreements, offers in compromise, penalty relief, or audit reconsiderations – all of which are potential paths.
The IRS process can be overwhelming, but having a plan and someone familiar with it makes a huge difference.
Why People Call Us
