Audit timelines vary based on records, IRS requests, complexity, and appeal rights. The most important step is responding carefully and on time.
We can help review IRS records and notices so you understand the balances, tax years, penalties, and next deadlines.
Yes, collection action can happen if notices and deadlines are ignored. Collection defense focuses on stopping escalation and reviewing available options.
