Client resource · Notice response

Received a tax notice?

Don’t panic—and don’t ignore it. Start by understanding what the agency is asking and when you must respond.

Protect the deadline. Response and appeal rights may expire while you gather information or arrange help.
01

Read the whole notice

Identify the agency, notice number, tax year, amount, and requested action.

02

Mark the deadline

Note any response or appeal date. Do not assume the notice requires no action.

03

Compare your records

Check the notice against your return, tax forms, payments, and prior correspondence.

04

Verify anything suspicious

Use the agency’s official website or online account before responding or paying.

05

Request a review

Securely share every page of the notice and the related return and records before responding.

Have ready: every page, the envelope, date received, related return, payment confirmations, and supporting records.
