What do I do if I get a Letter from IRS?

 

It is extremely important that you provide me all of your important tax-related information when I prepare your return.  If you don't, you may end up a year or two from now getting a letter from IRS or Utah stating you didn't report some income from a bank, a retirement account, or a stock sale.

IRS compares what is reported on your tax return with the information it receives from employers, banks, brokerages, etc.  It usually takes a year before these are matched up.

If you get a letter (CP2000) from the Internal Revenue Service, or a notice from the State of Utah, saying there is something not right on a previous year tax return, please call me as soon as possible.  A lot of times, the IRS has made the error and we have to prove they did with documentation. 

If you have never gotten a letter from IRS, that means your tax returns are correct as filed and match all of the employer and bank information they compare against your return.  Thank you for providing me all of your information and being thorough.
