Received an IRS notice?
Let's handle your next move.
An IRS letter can be confusing. We help individuals and business owners understand what the IRS is asking, evaluate their options, and respond with confidence.
Identify your IRS letter
Start with the notice or letter number.
Don't Guess What Your IRS Notice Means.
Know Your Next Move.
Receiving a notice from the IRS can raise questions and concerns. But not every notice means you owe additional taxes or are facing an audit.
The first step is understanding why the IRS contacted you, what action may be required, and how much time you have to respond.
Our IRS Notice Finder helps you identify your letter and understand what the IRS is communicating. But identifying the notice is only the beginning. Understanding how it applies to your specific tax situation is what matters most.
That's where Wallace Tax Advisors comes in. With over 20 years of tax-industry experience, we help individuals and business owners evaluate IRS correspondence, understand their options, and develop an appropriate response strategy.

Have questions about an IRS letter?
Does receiving a notice mean I am being audited?
No. IRS letters can concern balances due, routine adjustments, missing information, identity verification, refunds, and many other matters. Some do involve an examination.
What if I disagree with the IRS?
Review the specific response instructions and deadline on your notice. You may need to submit an explanation and supporting documents. Certain notices include formal appeal or Tax Court deadlines.
Should I ignore a notice if I cannot pay?
No. Ignoring a notice can lead to additional collection steps. You may have payment or resolution options even if you cannot pay in full.
Can Wallace Tax Advisors deal with the IRS for me?
An Enrolled Agent can represent taxpayers before the IRS within the scope of an appropriate authorization. We can discuss your notice and the services your situation requires.
