Tax Resolution & Advisory Services
Getting a letter from the IRS is stressful.
The Tax Resolution & Advisory Services team at Kaufman Rossin helps businesses and individuals resolve IRS disputes quickly and effectively. From reviewing notices to assessing your position against the IRS, we provide clear guidance and resolution strategies.
Few professionals understand both sides of the table — how a return is prepared and how it’s examined.
Ours do, and that dual perspective is where the real value lies for our clients. Kaufman Rossin Tax Resolution & Advisory Services is designed to help resolve your issues efficiently. We’ll analyze your options and guide you toward the best tax dispute resolution for your situation.
IRS tax resolutions: What to do after a letter arrives
Every year, the IRS mails millions of notices and letters to taxpayers. If you receive one, don’t panic. Most are related to a specific issue with your tax return or tax account and do not necessarily signal a tax audit. Then reach out to Kaufman Rossin.
Our professionals can evaluate the letter to determine the appropriate action. We have significant experience helping businesses and individuals address and resolve tax disputes—no matter how complex. Our team provides expert guidance through the resolution process, including examinations, collection alternatives, IRS Appeals, and tax litigation support, if necessary.
If you get an IRS notice, don’t panic or ignore it.
Take these steps immediately and consider contacting a professional tax advisory to assist in the process.
Common IRS letter types and what they mean
What is a CP2000 notice?
This is sent when income reported by third parties (employers, banks, brokers) doesn’t match what was reported on your return. It proposes a change to your tax, but it is not a formal audit – it’s automated.
What is a CP14 notice?
This notifies you that you have a balance due on your taxes. It’s typically the first notice in a collection sequence.
What is a Letter 2202 / Letter 566 (audit notice)?
These indicate the IRS has selected your return for examination, either by mail (correspondence audit) or in person, and specify what documentation is being requested.
What is a CP3219A (Notice of Deficiency)?
This is a formal, legally significant notice proposing additional tax. It starts a strict 90-day window during which you can petition the U.S. Tax Court before the IRS can assess the tax.
What is a Letter 525 or Letter 915?
These are typically sent at the end of an audit, summarizing proposed adjustments and explaining your appeal rights if you disagree.
What is an LT11 / Letter 1058 (Final Notice of Intent to Levy)?
This is a serious collection notice indicating the IRS intends to seize assets or wages if the balance isn’t resolved, and it preserves your right to request a Collection Due Process hearing, but only if you act within 30 days.
