Tax Law
Tax matters for individuals usually begin with a notice: a proposed adjustment, an audit letter, or a balance due. Most notices carry a response deadline printed on the letter itself.
Ignoring a notice is the most costly response, because interest and penalties accrue and collection options expand over time.

What to weigh before hiring
Respond by the date on the notice
Deadlines in tax correspondence are firm, and some rights expire if a response is not filed in time.
Know who can represent you
Attorneys, certified public accountants and enrolled agents may represent taxpayers before the tax authority. Others generally may not.
Be wary of guaranteed outcomes
No representative can promise a specific settlement amount before reviewing your full financial picture.
