Check off items as you gather them. This organizer stays in your browser; it does not submit information.
Make an informed call.
Preparation matters more than a sales promise. Keep these questions in the conversation.
Start with the source
Read the notice and check the relevant IRS guidance. A deadline, assessment, and collection action are different things.
Ask who does the work
Ask who will review your facts, what credentials they hold, and what representation is included. Get scope and fees in writing.
Keep the outcome realistic
A referral is not an approval. Relief options depend on eligibility, records, and IRS decisions; no result is promised here.
