CP, LT, and Letter series; state equivalents; matching notices, assessments, levies, and audits. If it came from a tax authority, bring it to the triage call.
The IRS alone issues dozens of notice and letter types. Most fall into a few families: balance-due and collection (CP14, CP501–504), matching and underreporter (CP2000, CP2030), deficiency (CP3219A), identity and verification (5071C, 4883C), and examination letters.
The right response depends entirely on which family your notice belongs to and where it sits in the sequence. The triage call exists to identify that precisely, confirm your deadline, and quote the work in writing before anything begins.
Every tax notice has a deadline, and most escalate if ignored. The cost of acting early — a clean response inside the window — is almost always a fraction of the cost of letting it harden into an assessment or levy.
No hourly surprises on routine notices. We confirm the tier on your free triage call and put the fee in writing.
