FAQs
IRS Notices & Back Taxes questions
What should I do first when I get an IRS notice?
Do not ignore it. Note the response date on the letter and send it to us. Many notices only need a short response or a payment, and acting early keeps your options open.
I have not filed for several years. Can you help?
Yes. We gather your income records, prepare the missing returns and help you plan for any balance due.
Can you set up a payment plan?
Yes. We help you apply for an installment agreement with the IRS or Virginia Tax when you cannot pay the full amount at once.
Can you represent me in an audit or collections case?
We help you understand notices, prepare responses and file returns. If your case needs formal representation before the IRS, such as an appeal or a complex collections matter, we will tell you and coordinate with a qualified representative.
What do CP14 and CP2000 notices mean?
A CP14 says you have a balance due. A CP2000 says the income on your return does not match what was reported to the IRS, such as a missing 1099, and proposes changes. Both have response dates, so send them to us right away.
Do you work with clients outside Ashburn?
Yes. We work remotely with clients throughout Northern Virginia, Washington, DC and Maryland.
