Nearly every tax notice that lands in a Katy mailbox comes from one sender: the IRS. Texas has no state income tax, so no state tax department is checking your personal return. That makes the federal letter the one that counts. The good news is that many IRS notices are about a single item, like a missing 1099 or a changed credit. We help you understand the letter and respond in a way that closes the issue.
When You Need IRS Notice and Letter Help
Get help when a letter proposes more tax, says a return is missing, changes a credit, or asks you to prove who you are before a refund goes out. Energy Corridor employees often get a CP2000 after selling company stock. The broker reports the sale, but the cost basis on the form may be blank or wrong, so the IRS treats the whole amount as a gain.
The IRS page on the CP2000 notice says it is not a bill. It proposes changes based on what employers, banks and brokers reported. You reply by the date on the notice and say whether you agree. If you ignore it, a bill usually comes next.
Our IRS Notice and Letter Help Process
Send us a photo of every page, plus the return the letter is about. We put the two side by side and find the exact line in question. Then we tell you in plain words whether the IRS has it right.
If the IRS is right, we explain the amount and help you request a payment plan if you need one. If it is wrong, we help you write a short reply and pull together the proof, like a stock plan statement that shows what you paid for the shares. If a return needs to be filed or fixed, we prepare the corrected or missing return. You sign and mail the reply yourself and keep a copy of all of it.
IRS Notice and Letter Help Cost in Katy
The fee depends on what the letter asks. One missing 1099 is quick. A notice that reaches back two or three tax years, or one tied to a business, takes longer. It also matters whether we prepared the original return. We read the letter first and quote you before any work begins.
Why Choose Us for IRS Notice and Letter Help
Our business has helped clients answer tax letters since 1993, and we stay open after April 15, when most letters show up. Our Katy office is on Kingsland Boulevard near the Grand Parkway, with Saturday hours. You can also send the letter from home and handle everything by phone and email.
Letters From a State You Left
Many Katy families moved here from states that do have an income tax. A year or two later, that state may write asking for a part-year return, or for tax on pay it thinks you earned there. We check your move date and pay records and help you answer the old state too. Business owners may also get mail from the Texas Comptroller about franchise or sales tax, and we can explain what those letters are asking for.

Common Questions
What if the reply date on my letter has already passed?
Reply anyway, and soon. A late answer is still better than none. The IRS may still consider your proof, though your choices can narrow and interest keeps adding up. Bring the letter in and we will see what can still be done.
Do I need to call the IRS after I mail my reply?
Usually not. Most replies go by mail or through the online account named in the letter. Keep a copy and a mailing receipt. If a second letter comes, bring it in along with the first one.
