I received an IRS notice. What should I do?

Read it. If it is certified mail, go to the post office, get it and read it. This sounds simplistic but I have represented many people who just ignored the notice. It's not likely to go away. It will continue on until you respond. It may be a minor issue that can be resolved with a written response or a phone call. If it is more serious, then you can limit your options or make the issue harder to resolve by not responding. Many notices will have a notice number and tax period in the top right hand corner. If this is the case, we can tell you what the notice means with that information. If it has an amount due, don't just pay it in hopes you will be left alone. You may not owe it. Let's get a thorough understanding of what the notice is and whether the amount due is valid before you open up the checkbook.
