What it means

A notice of deficiency. The IRS has proposed a change to your tax based on information from others, like your employer or bank. It isn't a bill or an audit. It explains how to agree, disagree, or challenge it in U.S. Tax Court.

Your deadline

You have a 90-day period. Working with the IRS doesn't extend the time to file a petition in Tax Court.

What happens next if you wait

If you don't respond or petition in time, the IRS assesses the tax and sends a bill.

What to do now

  1. Find the last day to petition the Tax Court on the notice.
  2. If you agree, sign and return Form 5564.
  3. If you disagree, reply right away with your information.
  4. Call us now. Tax Court is a legal step, and we'll tell you when you need an attorney.
How we help, step by step
  1. Free call. Tell us what letter you got or what's being taken.
  2. Form 8821. You sign it, and we pull your IRS transcripts so we can see exactly what the IRS sees: balances, years, unfiled returns, and notices.
  3. A plan in plain English. We explain your options (payment plan, hardship, penalty relief, filing missing returns) and what the IRS will need from you.
  4. We prepare the paperwork with you: financial statements, missing returns, and letters.
  5. We get on the phone with you. When you call the IRS, we join the call and help you. You speak for yourself, and we're right there.

Common questions

Is this notice real?

Real IRS notices come by mail, have a notice number in the corner, and point to irs.gov. The IRS doesn't demand payment by gift card or wire. If you're unsure, we can check it against your IRS transcripts.

Can you call the IRS for me?

We join your call and help you, but you speak for yourself. We don't represent clients before the IRS.
