FAQs About IRS Representation
What's the difference between IRS representation and audit representation?
IRS representation covers responding to notices, documentation requests, and penalty issues. Audit representation specifically involves defending your return when the IRS examines your income, deductions, or credits in detail. If you've received an audit notice, we have a dedicated service for that.
Can you represent me if I prepared my own return?
Yes. We represent clients regardless of who prepared the original return. We'll review the return, understand the IRS position, and work toward the best resolution.
What if I ignored previous IRS notices?
Ignoring notices makes things worse, but it's not too late. We assess where things stand, request transcripts, and develop a plan to get you back on track. The sooner you act, the more options you have.
How do payment plans work?
If you owe and can't pay in full, the IRS offers installment agreements. We help you understand your options, determine a manageable payment amount, and submit the request properly. We also explore penalty abatement to reduce what you owe.
What is Power of Attorney (Form 2848)?
Form 2848 authorizes us to communicate with the IRS on your behalf. Once it's on file, we handle all correspondence—you don't have to talk to the IRS directly unless you choose to.
What if the IRS says I owe money I don't think I owe?
We review your transcripts and the IRS position, then determine whether you have grounds to dispute it. If the IRS is wrong, we respond with documentation. If there's a legitimate issue, we work toward the best resolution.
Do you handle state tax issues too?
Yes. Virginia, DC, Maryland, and other states send notices and have their own collection processes. We represent clients before state tax authorities using the same systematic approach.
