Dealing with the IRS: What to Do if You Receive a Notice or Audit

Receiving a notice or audit letter from the IRS can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. In this post, we’ll walk you through what to do if you receive a notice or audit and how to handle the situation with confidence.

Why Did I Receive an IRS Notice?

The IRS sends notices for a variety of reasons, such as a balance due, a mistake on your return, or a request for additional information. Carefully read the notice to understand why it was sent and what actions you need to take. Most issues can be resolved quickly if you respond in a timely manner.

How to Respond to an IRS Audit

If the IRS selects your return for an audit, don’t panic. The audit could be as simple as a request for supporting documentation. Make sure to provide all requested documents and respond by the deadline listed in the audit notice.

If you disagree with the audit findings, you can appeal the decision. In some cases, you may want to hire a tax professional to represent you during the audit process.

What to Do if You Owe Taxes

If you receive a notice stating that you owe taxes, you have several options. You can pay the balance in full, set up a payment plan, or request an offer in compromise to settle the debt for less than the amount owed. Always respond to IRS notices promptly to avoid additional penalties or interest.
