IRS Representation and Problem Resolution in Cape Coral
An IRS letter can be stressful, but most problems have a clear path to resolution. Our CPAs can review the notice, explain what it means, and represent you before the IRS so you don't have to handle it alone.
How We Help
- IRS notices and letters: we review what the IRS is asking for, check it against your return, and respond on your behalf.
- Audit representation: CPAs and Enrolled Agents are authorized to represent taxpayers before the IRS. We prepare your records and speak with the IRS for you.
- Unfiled returns: we prepare missing prior-year returns to bring you back into compliance.
- Balances you can't pay in full: we help you understand the options the IRS offers, such as payment plans, and whether you qualify.
- Penalty relief: we review whether first-time abatement or reasonable-cause relief may apply.
What to Do When a Notice Arrives
- Don't ignore it. Most notices have a response deadline.
- Read the notice number, usually in the top or bottom right corner. It tells you what kind of issue the IRS is raising.
- Compare it with the return it refers to.
- Call us before you respond, especially if you disagree with the IRS or the notice involves an audit.
Our guide How to Get Help With an IRS Notice walks through each step in more detail.
Authorizing Us to Speak With the IRS
To represent you, we'll ask you to sign IRS Form 2848, Power of Attorney and Declaration of Representative. Once it's on file, the IRS can discuss your account with us directly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you talk to the IRS for me?
Yes. After you sign Form 2848 (Power of Attorney), our CPAs can speak with the IRS about your account and represent you in an audit.
I got an IRS letter. Should I pay it right away?
Not before you understand it. Some notices are correct, but others result from missing information the IRS doesn't have. Have the notice reviewed first, and respond by the deadline printed on it.
Do you help people in Fort Myers and elsewhere in Lee County?
Yes. Our office is in Cape Coral, and we help clients throughout Lee County and beyond, in person or remotely.
What if I have years of unfiled returns?
We can prepare the missing returns and help you work with the IRS on any balance due. Getting back into compliance usually limits further penalties.
