No one enjoys getting a letter from the IRS or a state tax agency. But what’s worse than receiving one? Waiting too long to deal with it.
At Trail CPA, we’ve seen clients miss critical deadlines simply because they delayed sending us the notice. That delay can limit our ability to help and may lead to unnecessary penalties or stress.
Why Timing Matters
Deadlines are real. Most notices have a clear response date. Missing it can trigger fines, interest, or enforcement.
We work better with time. The sooner we get the notice, the more strategic and proactive we can be.
Not all notices are bad. Some are just informational. We’ll explain what it means and what action—if any—is needed.
What To Do
If you get a notice:
Snap a photo or scan it.
Email it to your tax team the same day.
Don’t panic—we’ll guide you from there.
Final Thought
Tax notices can be stressful, but they’re manageable—especially when we’re looped in right away. The faster we see it, the faster we can resolve it.
Got a notice? Send it our way. We’ve got you.
