Help with IRS and state tax notices

A tax notice does not always mean the amount shown is correct, but deadlines matter. We review the notice, identify the records or authority involved, explain the available response, and define the scope before contacting the agency.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions about irs and state tax-notice assistance

What should I provide for an initial review?

Start with the complete notice, including every page and enclosure, the response deadline, and a brief description of the related return or payment. Sensitive documents should be uploaded only through the secure workflow provided after scope review.

Will Tavella CPA Group contact the agency for me?

Only if representation is accepted, the written scope includes agency contact, and any required authorization is completed. Some engagements are limited to notice review or written-response assistance.

How do I upload documents?

After engagement setup, use the secure client portal and the upload instructions provided by Tavella CPA Group. Do not send Social Security numbers, tax returns, bank information, or other sensitive documents through the public contact form or ordinary email.

Is this service cloud-based?

Yes. Organizers, secure document uploads, messages, electronic signatures, invoices, and final documents can be handled online through the appropriate secure workflow.

How long will preparation take?

Timing depends on the service, complexity, completeness of the information provided, filing deadline, and current availability. Expected timing is discussed when the scope is confirmed; submitting a consultation request does not reserve a filing deadline.

What happens if information is missing?

Tavella CPA Group will identify the missing items and explain what is needed next. Preparation or filing may need to pause until the required information is received, and any deadline or extension options will be discussed based on the circumstances.

Is audit or notice representation included?

Only when representation is expressly included in the written engagement. Audit, examination, and notice-response work are otherwise reviewed and scoped separately.
