Notice Triage: What To Do First

Check the deadline

Most notices have a reply window. We confirm the exact response date with the IRS and, where appropriate, request a hold while we prepare your response.

Verify it’s real

Compare the notice code and return address with your prior IRS mail. If you are unsure, we will verify it with the IRS for you.

Gather documents

Prior returns, the notice itself, and any records the letter lists. We will tell you exactly what is needed based on the notice type and what your transcripts show.

Call us before calling the IRS

With your authorization, we obtain and review IRS transcripts, prepare the right talking points, and contact the IRS through the proper unit. We aim for same-day contact after engagement and authorization, where possible.

Get a written plan

You receive a clear scope and timeline that outlines who we will contact, what documents are needed, and the target dates for responses and follow-up.

What Your Letter Might Mean (Common Notices)

Audit letter

The IRS wants more information about a return. We identify the requested items, assemble proof, and represent you in all communications.

CP504 (Notice of Intent to Levy)

A levy warning. It is time to act. We confirm the status, request a hold where appropriate, and prepare next steps.

CP90 (Intent to Levy)

Similar stakes. The IRS is signaling collection. We verify deadlines, seek relief where eligible, and position your case for a resolution. Read Beware of Notice CP90 for steps and timing.

Notice of Federal Tax Lien

The IRS filed a lien to secure the debt. We review balances, compliance, and release options, and pursue withdrawal, discharge, subordination, or release when eligibility is met.

What Your Letter Might Mean (Common Notices)

After engagement and authorization, we move fast:

Make contact

We reach out to the IRS unit, confirm deadlines, and, where appropriate, request a hold while we gather records.

Obtain and review transcripts

We confirm balances, filing status, penalties, and any prior notices on file.

Frame the response

We outline what the IRS is asking for and what proof will satisfy it.

Submit and follow-up

We submit organized responses and monitor the case with scheduled follow-ups until there is a clear result.

Map the finish

If you owe, we recommend the right path based on eligibility, such as an Installment Agreement, Offer in Compromise, penalty relief, or Currently Not Collectible, and we implement filings and compliance steps.

If You Already Owe or Enforcement Is Active

Liens

We explain the impact and pursue release, withdrawal, discharge, or subordination when you qualify.

Levies and seizures

We seek to stop or reduce enforcement where possible by contacting the IRS immediately after authorization, then pursuing a longer-term resolution based on eligibility. Read IRS seized property and tax liens for perspective.

Audit-related balances

If your notice came from an audit, we verify the assessment, deadlines, and appeal options, and represent you. Review our IRS Audit Help page for how representation fits your response.
