Dealing with Tax Agencies
Let us be your voice and shield in communications with the IRS and state tax boards.
How to Respond to IRS Letters or State Tax Boards
Receiving a letter from the IRS or a state tax agency can be alarming. These notices often contain deadlines and threats of collection action, causing significant stress. The most important rule is: do not ignore them. Ignoring a tax notice will not make the problem go away; it will only make it worse and limit your options.
However, you should also avoid the common mistake of calling the agency yourself without being prepared. IRS agents are trained to collect information, and anything you say can be used against you. The best response is to contact a qualified tax professional immediately.
Do Not Speak to the IRS Unprepared
Steps We Take to Communicate on Your Behalf
Once you hire Tax Relief Pros, you no longer have to deal with the stress of communicating with tax agencies. We take over completely, following a professional and strategic process.
The first step is always to file a Power of Attorney (Form 2848 with the IRS). This legally requires the tax agency to communicate with us instead of you.
We immediately contact the agent or department handling your case to acknowledge receipt of the notice and inform them that you have secured professional representation.
We handle all phone calls, letters, and information requests. We filter the noise and only contact you for the specific information needed to resolve your case.
The Benefits of Professional Communication
- Peace of Mind: The stressful calls and letters stop. You can relax knowing an expert is handling it.
- Protection of Your Rights: We ensure tax agencies follow proper procedures and do not overstep their authority.
- Strategic Responses: We know what information to provide (and what not to provide) to build the strongest case for you.
- Efficiency: We know how to navigate the bureaucracy of tax agencies, saving you time and frustration. We speak their language and can get to the heart of the matter quickly.
If you have received a notice from the IRS or a state tax board, your first call should be to us. We will interpret the notice, explain your options, and take over all communication so you can get back to your life.
