IRS & State Tax Resolution
Notice review & records
Identify the tax period, notice reference, stated issue, response deadline, and supporting records.
A scoped response plan
Evaluate the available next steps and confirm what support, authorization, or qualified representation is required.
For taxpayers with a notice, filing discrepancy, past-due return, payment concern, or records that need to be organized before responding.
How we can help
Understand the issue
Compare the notice with the relevant return, account history, payment evidence, and information statements. A balance shown on a notice is a starting point for review, not a conclusion.
Prepare a response package
Organize the explanation and supporting documents for the agreed response. Keep copies of correspondence and submission evidence.
Review payment concerns
Help assemble the facts needed to evaluate payment options and their eligibility requirements. No settlement, penalty removal, or payment arrangement is guaranteed.
Coordinate next steps
Identify missing returns or bookkeeping, keep track of response dates, and coordinate with an appropriately authorized professional when representation is needed.
How We Work Together
Triage
Review the notice and its stated deadline.
Reconcile
Compare the issue with returns, records and payments.
Scope
Confirm the action, authorization, fee and responsibility.
Document
Prepare the agreed materials and retain the response record.
Prepare for Your First Conversation
Have the full notice, every page and enclosure, the envelope when available, the related return, and proof of relevant payments ready. Use a secure channel for tax records and identification numbers. Contact the firm promptly about an imminent deadline.
Mac Neal LLC does not promise penalty removal, collection relief, settlement acceptance, or an examination outcome. Legal advice and services requiring specific licensure are outside scope unless separately provided by an appropriately qualified professional.
Common Questions
Can I ignore a notice while you review it?
No. Follow the notice instructions and pay attention to its deadline. An inquiry to Mac Neal LLC is not an extension, an accepted engagement, or a filed response.
Do you represent every client before the IRS?
Representation depends on the issue, the practitioner’s eligibility, and the required authorization. We confirm the applicable scope and coordinate with qualified counsel or an authorized tax professional when needed.
Can you guarantee a settlement for less than I owe?
No. Any relief or payment option depends on the facts and the tax authority’s rules and decision.
Do you assist with state notices too?
State-notice support is scoped separately to the agency, issue, records, deadlines, and applicable authorization requirements.
