As
IRS Enrolled Agents certified to represent taxpayers before the IRS, we can represent our clients
should any disputes or discrepancies arise between them and the agency. If
the IRS is unable to verify data on your return, they normally send a letter
seeking clarification. This letter will usually state that you owe an
unexpectedly large sum of money. Be aware that the IRS is simply presenting
their point of view. We will be happy to analyze your situation, determine
whether all of the appropriate factors were taken into consideration by the
IRS, and fight to get you fair treatment.
There are many
types of letters
that you may receive from the IRS. While most taxpayers never see these IRS
notices, there is a chance that you might be sent one at some point in time.
The IRS is typically fairly good about notifying tax payers of problems and
there is a solution to each notification they send out. Each notice contains
a precise timeframe within which the taxpayer must respond.
Timely
response to any IRS notice is the most critical factor that will save you
time, money and prevent escalation of further action by the IRS.
When you live overseas, the risk of missing such important mailings can be
very high. Therefore, we recommend that our expat clients sign up for our
Tax Agent Services,
which entail our acting as your liaison with the IRS (copying you on all
communications) to ensure that any letter from tax authorities is received and
responded in a timely manner. If you have an existing issue with the agency,
we can be there for you as well, defending your rights as a taxpayer to
permanently resolve your back taxes and IRS problems
