IRS / State Correspondence Notice Support
I review ordinary, non-examination IRS and state notices and prepare a response package for you to submit.
Who it is for
I handle ordinary, non-examination IRS and state correspondence notices, including a CP2000 mismatch notice and ordinary New Jersey Division of Taxation notices.
Examinations, appeals, collections and other tax-controversy matters are outside this correspondence service; see Outside This Service Scope below.
Want to tell notice types apart? Received an IRS Notice? Here's What NJ Taxpayers Should Do distinguishes CP2000, CP14, CP504, and levy notices.
What you get
The engagement letter names the notice, the records I review and the package you will submit. It covers that notice, not a broader tax-controversy matter.
What to send
Read the notice now, and keep it, its response date and your related documents. To ask about it, choose Ordinary IRS / State Correspondence Notice on the contact form and describe the notice and its response date. Please do not include tax documents or sensitive identifiers in your first message.
What it costs
See the “What affects your quote” box further down.
What happens next
If I can take on the work, I send a written offer: the proposed scope, fee and payment terms, an estimated completion timeline and next steps.
You keep and track every agency deadline, submit the package and watch for the agency's replies. I do not monitor the deadline.
I contact the agency only under a power of attorney you authorize, and only about this ordinary correspondence.
Several business problems at once? Start with a Diagnostic
I help with ordinary, non-examination IRS and state correspondence notices. This notice work is separate from return preparation and starts only after we agree on its own written scope. I read the notice, explain what it asks for, and prepare a response package for you to submit.
I do not provide financial-statement audit, review, compilation, or other attest services.
