Houston IRS Tax Representation FAQs
Answers to common questions about IRS notices, audits, and federal tax concerns.
What should I do if I receive a letter from the IRS?
Read the notice carefully, verify that it is legitimate, and identify any stated response deadline. Keep a copy with your tax records. Some notices are informational, while others request payment, documents, or a response. A CPA can help you understand the notice and determine appropriate next steps.
Can a CPA represent me before the IRS?
Generally, a CPA who is properly licensed and eligible to practice before the IRS can represent taxpayers in many federal tax matters. Written authorization, commonly through IRS Form 2848, may be required before the CPA can act on your behalf.
What happens if the IRS selects my tax return for an audit?
The IRS may request documents or explanations supporting information reported on your return. The examination may be conducted by correspondence or through another audit process. Reviewing the request, gathering accurate records, and responding within applicable deadlines are important.
What if I owe the IRS more than I can pay right now?
Depending on your circumstances, the IRS may offer payment arrangements or other collection alternatives. Eligibility and terms vary. Filing required returns, reviewing the balance, and understanding applicable deadlines can help you evaluate available options.
Can I resolve several years of unfiled tax returns?
Past-due returns can often be prepared and filed using available tax documents and financial records. The number of returns required and any related penalties or balances depend on your circumstances. Addressing missing returns can be an important step toward resolving outstanding tax issues.
Should I ignore an IRS notice if I believe it is incorrect?
No. If you disagree with an IRS notice, review its instructions and response deadline. You may need to provide documentation or formally dispute the proposed adjustment. Ignoring a notice can limit your options or lead to additional collection activity, depending on the issue.
