FAQ

Common questions

View all
I received a letter from the IRS. What should I do?

Do not ignore it. Most notices have a response deadline. Keep the letter, avoid paying or replying before you understand it, and contact us — we will review the notice and explain your options.

How are your fees determined?

Fees depend on the complexity of your situation, such as the number of forms, income sources and states involved. We provide a quote after the initial consultation, before any work begins.

Can you help with an unfiled year or an incorrect return?

We can review the year, filing history and supporting records to identify the next step. A missing original return and an amendment are different procedures. For individual returns, Form 1040-X may apply to a correction; state filings and refund claim periods need separate consideration.
