Key Take Away :
This webinar will cover situations in which a business might receive IRS notices, how to respond to the notices, and how a business can protect itself through best practices and due diligence.
Overview :
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has many different types of notices that they may send out to taxpayers. It’s important to carefully read the notice to determine what the IRS is requesting.
Some notices are information-only; that is, they do not require a response. Other notices require a prompt response; failure to respond timely could result in additional tax, interest, and penalties.
Why Should You Attend :
The IRS sends notices to taxpayers for a variety of reasons. Just receiving a notice from the IRS can be an intimidating experience and, in some cases, the recipient of a notice is afraid to open it. Despite IRS efforts to write notices in a way that they are understandable, the notices often contain highly technical or confusing language. They are usually form letters that are computer generated and may refer to several possible reasons for the notice with little or barely noticeable specific information regarding the taxpayer’s specific situation.
