IRS Notices & Letters

“My IRS notice says I owe money, but it doesn't make sense to me, is this actually from the IRS?”

High urgencyQuick Question · 30 min · $95

An IRS notice that claims a balance due can be genuine, but the details matter, especially the notice number, the taxpayer name and address, and whether the account information matches prior filings or correspondence. In many cases, confusion comes from an amended return, a missing payment, a reporting mismatch, or a notice that is actually from a different agency or a scammer using IRS language. The envelope, letter format, and account identifiers often help distinguish an authentic IRS communication from something fraudulent, and the surrounding tax history usually explains why the notice was issued. 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.
