IRS and Idaho tax notice help in Twin Falls
A notice is rarely the emergency it reads like, but it does need an answer.
Bring the notice in
The first step is working out what the agency is actually asking for, which is usually narrower than the letter makes it sound. Many notices are proposing an adjustment based on incomplete information, and the response is a letter with documentation rather than a payment.
What can be handled
Notices proposing additional tax, audits and examinations, unfiled returns from prior years, balances owed and payment arrangements, penalty abatement where there is reasonable cause, and liens or levies that need to be addressed quickly.
Representation
As a CPA I can represent you before the IRS, which means correspondence and calls come to me rather than to you. That is generally better for everyone: the agency gets an answer in the form it expects, and you stop having the conversation.
Unfiled returns
If returns were never filed, there is no statute of limitations and the situation does not improve with time. It also usually resolves better than people expect once the filings are brought current, because the IRS treats voluntary compliance differently from enforcement.
Talk it through
Call (208) 738-9890 or send a note describing the situation. A first conversation doesn't cost anything.

Common questions
Does a notice mean I am being audited?
Usually not. Most notices are automated matching letters where reported income did not line up with a return. They need a response, but they are not an audit.
How quickly do I need to respond?
Notices carry deadlines, typically 30 or 90 days depending on the type, and those deadlines matter. Bring it in as soon as it arrives rather than at the end of the window.
Referred by someone we work with?
Call the office and speak to Bailey. She handles the calendar and will get you in front of Ruth.
