The notice may be unfamiliar. Tony’s next step should not be.
An IRS or state notice can be unsettling, particularly when the letter is unclear or tied to an older filing. Van Grouw & Associates can review the correspondence, identify what is being requested, explain the urgency, and determine the appropriate response.
Before you call one of the large radio or television advertisers claiming to solve tax problems for pennies on the dollar, talk to a local professional. This firm is not a sales organization: the people who work on your matter are the people you meet, and they handle it efficiently and discreetly. No firm can guarantee a settlement amount.
