We help Grand Strand residents understand IRS letters and pick a next step, online, with help from our Huntsville team. Start with the IRS Notice Decoder, or a $249 IRS Notice Review answered in writing.

Common IRS letters we see

• CP14: the IRS says you have a balance due. It's usually the first bill. Check the amount and the due date.
• CP504: a notice of intent to levy certain property if the balance stays unpaid. Don't ignore it.
• CP2000: the IRS proposes changes because income it received reports on doesn't match your return. It's a proposal, and you can agree or respond.
• LT11: a final notice of intent to levy, with your right to a hearing. Watch the deadline on the letter.

Short-term rental income and CP2000 letters

Rental platforms and payment apps may send Forms 1099-K or 1099-MISC to the IRS. If that income isn't on your return the way the IRS expects, a CP2000 can follow. We review the letter and your records and explain your options. More on CP2000 letters.

Behind on returns

Missing one or more years of federal returns? We look at which years the IRS shows as unfiled and what a catch-up plan may look like. Federal returns only.

IRS payment plans for South Carolina residents

If you owe and can't pay in full, an IRS payment plan may fit. Eligibility is set by IRS rules. More on IRS payment plans.

IRS letter or SC Department of Revenue letter? How to tell

IRS letters come from the "Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service" and usually show a notice number like CP14 in the top-right corner. SC Department of Revenue letters carry the SCDOR name and logo. We help with federal (IRS) matters only. For a state letter, contact SCDOR or a South Carolina tax professional.

Retirees and seasonal workers

• Social Security: unpaid federal tax debt can lead the IRS to take part of some Social Security benefits. If you've received a levy notice, act before the deadline on the letter.
• Tips and seasonal wages: tip income is taxable and must be reported. Gaps between W-2s, tips and your return can trigger IRS letters.

What you pay and when

• IRS Notice Decoder: see what your letter likely means and the usual next step.
• $249 IRS Notice Review: a flat price, paid once, answered in writing.
• $599 IRS Situation Assessment: a flat price, for more than one letter or year.
• Representation, if you want it, is a separate written engagement, quoted before you commit.

Ask any tax-relief firm, us included, what you pay and when, before you pay anything. We never promise an IRS result.
