Dealing with the IRS often requires more than submitting paperwork. Taxpayers may need to understand a notice, reconcile tax records, respond to information requests, address a proposed adjustment, or evaluate collection alternatives.
Formal representation before the IRS requires an appropriately authorized representative. Intellgus's role and the involvement of any authorized representative will be confirmed in the engagement scope.
The appropriate approach depends on the notice, tax year, taxpayer circumstances, and applicable IRS procedures.
Depending on the engagement and the representative's authorization, Intellgus can support matters involving:
The appropriate response depends on the notice and the taxpayer's circumstances. Formal representation during an examination must be handled by a professional who is eligible and authorized to represent the taxpayer before the IRS.
Where legal advice or formal IRS representation is required, we coordinate with appropriately qualified and authorized professionals.
An IRS notice may request information, propose an adjustment, report a balance due, or require action by a deadline. Ignoring a notice can create additional complications, so it is important to understand what it says and what response is required. Intellgus can help clients organize and review IRS correspondence, identify requested information, and prepare relevant financial documentation.
An IRS examination may involve questions about income, deductions, credits, expenses, business transactions, or other items reported on a tax return. Intellgus can help organize the financial records relevant to an examination and support preparation of responses to IRS information requests.
Tax disputes can arise when the IRS questions reported income, deductions, credits, business expenses, or other tax return items. Resolving a dispute may require a review of the return, supporting documents, applicable rules, and the IRS's stated position. Available dispute procedures depend on the type of determination, applicable deadlines, and the taxpayer's circumstances.
When the IRS determines that a taxpayer owes taxes, it may pursue collection through notices and procedures permitted by law. Taxpayers may have options depending on their financial circumstances, the amount owed, filing compliance, and the stage of collection. The IRS may accept an Offer in Compromise where there is doubt that the liability is fully collectible, among other potential bases. Eligibility depends on IRS criteria and the taxpayer's circumstances; no outcome can be guaranteed.
IRS penalties may arise from late filing, late payment, inaccurate reporting, or other circumstances. Depending on the facts, a taxpayer may qualify for penalty relief under applicable IRS procedures. Potential relief options may include first-time abatement or administrative waiver, as well as reasonable-cause relief. Reasonable cause is evaluated case by case based on the facts and circumstances. Penalty relief is not automatic.
Discrepancies between tax returns, payments, IRS account information, and other records can make it difficult to understand an outstanding balance. Intellgus helps organize and reconcile available financial information to clarify the issue. This work can help clients and their authorized representatives understand the tax account before determining the next step.
