Help with back taxes in Cary
A confusing IRS letter or an unpaid balance is a reason to ask for a clear explanation. Talk about the tax debt and whether you need help with a response, payment difficulty or understanding the account.
Start with the question you need answered
Keep the notice and any payment confirmation available if you have them. Mention the tax year and any date for a response. Assistance should explain what the issue requires and what work is being proposed. Ask how fees, authorization and follow-up will be handled. Eligibility and IRS decisions depend on the applicable process and circumstances.
