Our Representation Process
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do when I receive an IRS letter?
Read the notice carefully, note the response deadline, and keep a copy. Do not ignore it. We can help determine what the IRS is requesting and whether a response or payment is necessary.
Can a CPA speak to the IRS on my behalf?
An appropriately authorized CPA can represent taxpayers before the IRS in eligible matters. The IRS generally requires a signed Form 2848, Power of Attorney and Declaration of Representative, for representation.
Can you help if I owe taxes but cannot pay in full?
We can review your balance and circumstances and discuss possible payment arrangements or other collection alternatives. Eligibility depends on the IRS rules and your financial situation.
Can IRS penalties be removed?
Some penalties may qualify for administrative relief or reasonable-cause abatement. Approval is not automatic; we can review the facts and prepare a request when appropriate.
What if the IRS is auditing my return?
We can review the examination notice, help organize records, and assist with correspondence or representation within the agreed engagement and applicable authorization.
Do you handle state tax notices too?
We can review state tax correspondence and discuss the scope of assistance available. State representation requirements and procedures vary.
