Representation, so
the mail stops being frightening.

Most notices are wrong, or narrower than they look.

A large share of automated notices are matching errors, timing differences or payments applied to the wrong period. They still carry a response deadline, and ignoring one is how a correctable mismatch becomes an assessment with interest running behind it.

We file a power of attorney, take the correspondence off your desk, and answer it. For matters that go further, such as a field examination, an information document request that keeps growing or an appeal, a partner runs the engagement and speaks to the agent directly. You are not left rehearsing answers.

The most consequential cases are usually payroll. Trust fund recovery penalty exposure attaches to people, not only entities, which means an unresolved payroll tax problem follows an owner personally. Those cases get handled first and fast.

Where we did not prepare the return under examination, we will say so and defend the position on its merits if it can be defended. Where it cannot, we tell you early and move the conversation to mitigation, which is a much better use of the time available.
