Professional help
When a letter may not be enough
MyIRSReply helps you write a response to an IRS notice. It does not represent you, give tax or legal advice, or speak to the IRS for you. Some situations are better handled with a qualified professional.
Who can help
- Enrolled agents are tax specialists licensed by the IRS who can represent taxpayers before it.
- Certified public accountants (CPAs) are licensed by state boards. Many handle tax matters and can represent taxpayers before the IRS.
- Tax attorneys are licensed attorneys who focus on tax law. They are often the best fit for complex, contested or legal matters.
When it is worth considering
- You received a notice about a levy, lien or other collection action and are unsure what to do.
- The matter involves a business, payroll taxes or several tax years.
- You are being audited, or you want to challenge an IRS decision.
- You are considering an Offer in Compromise, or another option that needs a detailed financial review.
- You would rather have someone qualified speak to the IRS on your behalf.
The deadline on your notice always comes first. If it is close, getting help quickly matters more than a perfect letter.
