A practical starting point
Understand the tax balance and the options for dealing with it. Get help discussing an IRS notice, payment difficulty, settlement review, or penalties, with a clear next step based on your situation.
Understand the help being proposed
The information here explains common tax debt concerns and questions to raise about assistance. An individual account may need a closer review of facts, filing history, finances, or IRS correspondence. Ask about included work, communication, responsibilities, and fees before deciding to proceed.
Talk about your tax debt concern
Call to discuss your unpaid balance or IRS letter. You can ask about the help available before deciding to proceed, even if you do not yet have every document. If your letter includes a response date, mention it at the start of the conversation.
