Tax disputes help and review requests

Identify the tax agency, tax periods and notice type. Explain whether the request concerns an audit, disputed assessment, collection action or business tax question without uploading tax returns or identification numbers.

Reasons to seek tax disputes help

  • Tax attorney
  • IRS audit response
  • Tax lien review
  • Tax collection dispute
  • Business tax controversy

These examples describe inquiries, not findings that a claim is valid or that representation is available.

Prepare for a useful first conversation

  1. Tax agency and years involved
  2. Notice title and response date
  3. Whether an audit, appeal or collection action is pending

Start with this question

What notice did you receive, and which part do you dispute or need explained?

Provide a brief factual summary. Keep financial account numbers, identity documents, medical records and other sensitive files for a secure exchange with a professional who agrees to review the matter.
