How it works

How the Notice Review Works

1. Share notice details

Share the notice name, agency, balance range, state, deadline, and any collection language you see.

2. Understand what the notice means

Identify whether the notice appears to involve a balance due, proposed change, missing return, audit, lien, levy, or payment problem.

3. Review possible next steps

Depending on the facts, paths may include paying, disputing the notice, requesting time, setting up payments, or reviewing tax debt options.

4. Decide what comes next

A tax professional may call to discuss your situation and whether additional help makes sense. No settlement, reduction, payment plan, or other outcome is guaranteed.

Possible tax notice paths including payment plan, dispute notice, filing compliance, hardship review, and professional review
Most notices do not have one automatic answer. The right next step depends on the notice, deadline, amount, tax year, and your current filing or payment situation.
