You do not have to face an IRS examination or dispute alone. An Enrolled Agent can communicate with the IRS, organize the record and advocate for a fair result.
When this may deserve a closer look
- You received an IRS examination notice
- Important records or corrected information were not considered
- You disagree with a proposed adjustment or collection action
How Tax Relief SOS approaches the matter
- Read the notice and protect the deadline
- Organize facts, records and applicable tax law
- Represent you in IRS communications
- Evaluate reconsideration or appeal rights
Helpful documents to gather
You do not need every document before the first conversation, but these records commonly help clarify the account:
- The examination, adjustment or collection notice
- The filed return and workpapers
- Receipts, bank records and third-party statements
- Prior IRS correspondence
- A chronology of disputed facts and deadlines
Common mistakes to avoid
- Missing a protest or petition deadline
- Sending large volumes of unorganized records
- Making factual statements before reviewing the complete file
- Treating every disagreement as the same type of appeal
What the process may include
- Identify the procedural stage and deadline
- Organize the facts and supporting evidence
- Research the applicable tax and procedural rules
- Prepare the response, protest or reconsideration request
- Represent the taxpayer in conferences and follow-up
What you receive
You work directly with Tayde Saenz, an Enrolled Agent authorized to represent taxpayers before the IRS. The goal is to replace uncertainty with an accurate account review, a carefully selected strategy and clear communication throughout the process.
Frequently asked questions
Is IRS Appeals separate from the examiner or collector?
The IRS Independent Office of Appeals is intended to resolve disputes without litigation and independently of the compliance function that made the determination.
Can every notice be appealed?
No. Appeal rights and procedures depend on the type of notice, issue and timing.
What if important records were not previously considered?
Depending on the issue and procedural posture, audit reconsideration, an administrative appeal or another remedy may be available.
Important to know
No ethical tax professional can promise a particular IRS outcome before reviewing the complete facts. Eligibility, timing and results vary. Penalties and interest may continue to accrue until the liability is resolved or paid.
