IRS Audit Letters

IRS audit letters and correspondence are increasingly common. The IRS issues millions of notices each year, and these letters may appear straightforward but can expand in scope quickly if not handled properly.

Common IRS Audit Letters We Handle

• CP2000 Notice — proposed changes based on information the IRS received from third parties (W-2s, 1099s) that does not match your return
• Math error notices — IRS corrections to arithmetic on your return
• Filing status inquiries — verification of head of household or other filing status claims
• Document requests — IRS requests for receipts, records, or other substantiation

Do Not Ignore IRS Audit Letters

Failure to respond to an IRS notice can result in the IRS making changes to your return without your input. The IRS will assess additional taxes, penalties, and interest based on their own calculations — which are almost always less favorable than what you would achieve by responding with proper documentation.

Every IRS notice has a response deadline. Missing that deadline can limit your options for appeal and resolution.
