Guidance

How to choose a starting point

Every Initial IRS Review covers the same underlying data — your account, return, and wage and income transcripts — regardless of which situation brought you here. The pages above exist to help you understand what to expect for your specific concern, but the review itself gives you the full picture across every tax year on file, not just the one issue you started with.

If your situation does not match either scenario above, or you are not sure which applies, the Initial IRS Review still answers the underlying question: what does the IRS currently show for your account, across every year and every notice on file.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What if my situation involves both a balance and missing returns?+

The Initial IRS Review covers both at once. It reviews your full account and filing history, so you get a complete picture regardless of which single issue prompted you to start.

Do I need to know which solution applies before I sign up?+

No. The review process and pricing are the same either way — these pages are meant to help you understand what to expect, not to change what you receive.
