We explain the options that may fit and quote any further work in writing first. No pressure, results vary.
Questions people ask
Do you help people outside Huntsville?
Yes. Our help is online, so we work with people across the US and US taxpayers living abroad, including Thailand.
Will you ask for my Social Security number by email or chat?
No. We never ask for it by email, text or chat. If we take on your case, sensitive documents go through the secure Canopy client portal.
Can you promise the IRS will reduce what I owe?
No one honestly can. Every situation is different and results vary. What we can do is explain your options clearly and help you take the next right step.
What does it cost to get started?
The Notice Decoder is free. A tax professional review of your actual notice with a written action plan is $249, and the full $249 counts toward the $599 or $799 Assessment if you upgrade within 30 days.
How fast is the $249 notice review?
Typically 1–3 business days after you upload your notice.
I haven't filed in years. Is it too late?
It is usually better to start now than wait. We help you see which years matter and the order to file them in.
