IRS Audit Letter? Review What the Notice Is Asking For
Audit letters can request documents, explanations, or a response by mail. The best next step depends on what tax year and issue the IRS is examining.
What to check first
Identify the letter number, due date, tax year, audit issue, and whether the IRS is asking for records or already proposing additional tax. Do not upload tax documents through this website.
If the audit may create a balance you cannot pay, it may be worth reviewing tax debt options before the account moves into collections.
Good review fit
- Audit letter mentions proposed tax due
- Possible balance is $10,000+
- You also have IRS or state collection notices
- You need to understand payment or collection options

Audit letter review
Match the response to the letter type
Audit letters can ask for mailed records, schedule a meeting, propose changes, or explain appeal rights. A useful review starts by identifying the letter number, tax year, issue under examination, deadline, and whether the IRS has already proposed additional tax.
For a callback, gather the letter, the list of requested documents, the tax return year involved, and whether the audit issue could create a balance you cannot pay. Do not upload tax records through a general lead form.
