Q. What is a CP2000 or CP2501 Notice?
A. When income or payment information the IRS has received from third parties such as employers, vendors, banks, casinos, etc. doesn't match the information you reported on your tax return, the IRS sends these notices for you to review (and dispute, as necessary). This discrepancy may cause an increase or decrease in your tax or may not change it at all.
Q. Is this something that I need to pay now?
A. No, the letter is simply notifying you of a discrepancy between the information the IRS has, and the information reported on your tax return. If the discrepancy remains unresolved, you will typically receive a subsequent notice and a bill at a later date.
Q. How long will this process take?
A. Document gathering and response preparation time typically takes about a week, although it may be longer if our information requests are not timely answered. Once the response is submitted, the IRS typically will make a determination within 60-90-days. Schedule a Consultation with us to determine how we can resolve this matter for you. We do not recommend contacting the IRS or trying to handle this on your own.
Q. Why are IRS transcripts needed?
A. Transcripts are used to confirm (1) the validity of the notice received form the IRS; (2) the information that has been reported to the IRS and accuracy of the amounts reported on the notice; and (3) whether you may qualify for any penalty abatement (as applicable).
Q. What is the cost of your unreported income audit defense service?
A. We charge a flat-fee of $1500 for this service. This includes transcript analysis, complete response package assembly, form preparation, IRS submission, negotiation on your behalf, and if needed, appeal (at no extra cost). Because every situation is different, we recommend you Schedule a Tax Consultation so we can discuss your case in detail.
