IRS Notice Response & Support

Receiving a letter from the IRS can be confusing and stressful, especially when the notice includes deadlines, proposed adjustments, or amounts you were not expecting. An IRS notice does not always mean something is wrong, but it should be reviewed promptly and carefully.

At KDW Tax & Accounting, we help individuals and business owners understand IRS correspondence, determine what action is required, and respond in an organized and timely manner. We begin by reviewing the complete notice, comparing it with the return and available supporting information, and explaining the issue in clear terms before recommending a course of action.

How We Can Help

• Review the IRS notice and identify important deadlines, requested information, or proposed changes.
• Compare the notice with the filed tax return and supporting records to determine whether a response or correction may be needed.
• Explain the notice in plain language so you understand the issue and available options.
• Prepare written responses and organize supporting documentation when appropriate.
• Communicate with the IRS when representation is authorized.
• Assist with amended returns when a correction to a previously filed return is appropriate.
• Discuss payment options when a valid balance is due, including available installment-payment alternatives.
• Help track the matter through resolution and identify follow-up items that may affect future tax filings or planning.

Support That Helps You Move Forward

IRS matters can range from simple informational notices to return discrepancies, proposed adjustments, document requests, collection matters, and examinations. The appropriate response depends on the specific notice and the facts behind it. Our role is to help you approach the matter methodically, understand what the IRS is asking for, and focus on the steps that require attention.

When additional documentation or a formal response is needed, we help organize the information, prepare the response, and monitor important deadlines. If representation is appropriate and authorized, we can also assist with communications with the IRS. Throughout the process, we provide clear explanations so you can make informed decisions without having to interpret IRS correspondence on your own.

A Separate Engagement

IRS notice response and resolution services are separate from a standard tax-return preparation engagement. Before substantial notice-response work begins, we will discuss the scope of the matter, the services that may be required, and any applicable fees.

Why Prompt Review Matters

Ignoring an IRS notice or waiting too long to respond can create unnecessary complications. Prompt review helps identify deadlines, preserve available response options, reduce the risk of avoidable penalties or interest, and move the matter toward resolution as efficiently as possible.

If you receive IRS correspondence, contact KDW Tax & Accounting and provide a complete copy of the notice so we can review it and help determine the appropriate next step.
