IRS Notices & Letters
“I got an IRS notice saying I owe a large amount, but I don't understand it, is it legitimate?”
An IRS notice that claims a large balance can be legitimate, but the details matter, including the notice number, the tax year involved, and whether it matches prior returns, payments, or correspondence. In many cases, notices can also reflect penalties, interest, identity issues, or a return that was processed differently than expected. The wording, mailing address, and any account identifiers can help determine whether it appears to come from the IRS or from a scam attempt. Comparing the notice to your records and any recent IRS activity often clarifies what is being claimed. A focused session can map this against your actual situation in plain English.
In your 30-minute session, the KGOB advisor handling it will:
- Read your exact situation and tell you, in plain English, what’s actually going on.
- Lay out your options and the trade-offs — no jargon, no judgment.
- Give you a clear next step you can act on, whether that’s with us or on your own.
