Resolving IRS Disputes

When Things Go Wrong

Sometimes, taxpayers face disputes with the IRS—maybe an unexpected bill or a penalty. CPAs step in to help resolve the issue.

Typical Steps

  • Reviewing IRS correspondence
  • Gathering supporting documents
  • Responding to the IRS or filing an appeal

Peace of Mind

With a CPA’s help, clients can often reduce penalties, set up payment plans, or even reverse IRS errors.

Key Point

Don’t panic! Most IRS issues can be resolved with proper documentation and professional support.

Examples

  • Negotiating an offer in compromise to settle a tax debt for less than the full amount.

  • Correcting a tax return error that triggered an IRS notice.
