Receiving a letter from the IRS can be unsettling, but the worst thing you can do is set it aside and hope it goes away. Ignoring an IRS notice doesn’t make the problem disappear — it often makes it far worse.
Notices are the IRS’s way of alerting you to an issue, whether it’s an unpaid balance, missing information, a tax return discrepancy, or the start of an audit. If you don’t respond, the IRS can escalate matters quickly, adding penalties and interest, placing liens on your property, garnishing your wages, or seizing bank accounts. The more time passes, the fewer options you have to resolve the situation on favorable terms.
As a tax attorney in Washington, DC, Attorney James Kraehenbuehl helps clients address IRS notices promptly and strategically. By responding quickly, he can often negotiate solutions, prevent aggressive collection actions, and protect your rights before the problem escalates.
