Who This Is For

What's Included

Scope note: If your issue requires representation or legal advice beyond our scope, we will let you know and recommend involving the appropriate licensed professional.

We help clients review IRS and California FTB notices, understand what the agency is asking for, gather supporting records, review account transcripts when needed, and determine the next steps. Depending on the issue, this may include an amended return, payment plan guidance, refund follow-up, or a written response.

How We Work

  1. 1

    Free consultation

    Send us the notice and we'll review the situation, deadlines, and what type of support you need.

  2. 2

    Clear next steps and pricing

    We explain what's needed, what documents to gather, and how pricing will be determined.

  3. 3

    Secure document collection

    You upload the notice, prior returns, and supporting records through the secure portal.

  4. 4

    Review and action plan

    We review the notice and any needed transcripts with appropriate authorization, then recommend the next step. A notice response does not always require an amended return.

  5. 5

    Resolution and follow-through

    We help with the agreed response, review agency updates, and explain any remaining steps. The agency determines the outcome and processing time.

Pricing Approach

Pricing depends on the type of service, filing complexity, number of income sources, number of states, business activity, bookkeeping condition, payroll needs, and whether prior-year or amended filings are involved. During the consultation, we review your situation and provide clear pricing before work begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

I got a notice from the IRS or FTB. What's the first step?

Upload all pages of the notice through the secure portal, including explanation codes and response deadlines. We review what the agency is asking for and identify the next step. Contact us promptly so there is time to review any payment, response, or appeal deadline.

Will you represent me in front of the IRS?

We provide support that includes reviewing notices, organizing records, reviewing transcripts, and helping draft written responses where appropriate. If your issue requires representation or legal advice beyond our scope, we will let you know and recommend involving the appropriate licensed professional.

My refund was reduced or delayed. Can you help find out why?

Yes. We review the return, the notice, and account transcripts when needed, and explain what's behind the change. If the agency's adjustment is incorrect, we help draft a response or amended return.

Can you set up a payment plan?

We explain IRS and FTB payment-plan options and help with the request when appropriate. Approval and continued eligibility depend on the agency’s rules and required filings and payments. Interest and applicable penalties generally continue until the balance is paid.
