Our Tax Professionals Provide Strategic Guidance & Resolution for IRS Notices, Tax Debt Warnings, and Collection Correspondence from the IRS or State Tax Agencies.
An IRS notice or letter may relate to an unpaid balance, a return adjustment, missing tax filings, an audit request, or collection activity.
The notice number, tax year, response date, and instructions determine what the IRS is asking you to do.

IRS & state tax notices carry specific deadlines and procedures that are easy to misread on your own.
Badran Tax reviews the account, verifies the notice claims, and represents you directly with the IRS or state agency, so your response to the letter is accurate and timely.
An IRS notice may be tied to a balance due, missing tax returns, an audit, collection activity, or a business tax issue. If your notice identifies a more specific problem, explore the related Badran Tax solutions below.
An IRS notice or letter is official correspondence tied to a specific tax account, and the notice number determines what it actually requires.
A CP14 signals an unpaid balance.
A CP504 warns of an intent to levy.
An LT11 or CP90 can be a final notice with levy and hearing rights attached.
Each of these carries a different deadline and a different consequence for inaction, so identifying the exact notice matters more than reacting to the dollar amount printed on the first page.
State tax agencies issue comparable correspondence for state income tax, sales tax, and payroll tax balances, often following a similar escalation pattern of reminder, warning, and enforced collection.
Badran Tax reviews both IRS and state notices for individuals and business owners, verifies whether the underlying balance or adjustment is accurate, and identifies what response the notice actually calls for.
A notice is frequently the visible symptom of a broader account problem rather than an isolated event. Unfiled tax returns, an unresolved audit, several years of accumulated back taxes, or an account already flagged for collection can all produce a notice that looks routine on its surface. Responding to the letter without reviewing the full account can leave the underlying issue unresolved and likely to resurface as a more serious notice later.
Badran Tax provides IRS notice review, tax resolution representation, and case evaluation services for individuals and businesses facing back taxes, audits, unfiled returns, tax liens, and collection notices. Whether a notice is the first correspondence on an account or the latest in a series of escalating letters, understanding its place in that sequence is the clearest way to judge how much time remains to respond and what options are still available.
Badran Tax works with wage earners, self-employed individuals, and business owners who receive IRS or state notices involving income tax, payroll tax, or business tax obligations. Because a notice addressed to a business can carry personal liability implications for an owner or responsible party, business correspondence should be reviewed with that distinction in mind rather than treated the same as an individual balance-due letter. Clients throughout New Jersey and nationwide can request a review of any IRS or state notice before a response deadline passes.
Yes. Enrolled Agents have unlimited rights to represent taxpayers before the IRS, and Badran Tax can communicate with the IRS on behalf of clients once the appropriate authorization is completed. The scope of representation depends on the matter and the authorization provided. The IRS recognizes Form 2848, Power of Attorney and Declaration of Representative, as the form used to authorize qualified representatives to represent taxpayers before the agency.
Badran Tax identifies the notice type, tax periods, deadlines, and issue behind the correspondence. If you retain the firm, the team reviews relevant filings, account records, payments, prior notices, and supporting documents, then develops the response or tax-resolution strategy appropriate to the case. When authorization is in place, Badran Tax can communicate with the IRS or applicable state tax authority on your behalf.
Act according to the response date printed on the notice, rather than assuming every notice has the same deadline. The IRS instructs taxpayers to read the notice, follow its specific directions, and respond by the date shown when a response is required. Notices involving a proposed adjustment, missing tax return, audit, payment demand, lien, levy, or hearing right should be reviewed promptly because the available response or appeal options may be time-sensitive.
Yes. Badran Tax helps businesses address IRS and state tax notices involving income tax, sales tax, payroll tax, employment-tax deposits, Form 941 liabilities, missing business returns, audits, penalties, and collection actions. Business tax notices should be reviewed carefully because unresolved payroll-tax or employment-tax matters may affect operations and, in some circumstances, responsible individuals.
In most cases, yes. The appropriate strategy depends on the total liability, tax years involved, filing compliance, income, assets, allowable expenses, and IRS procedures. After reviewing the account, Badran Tax may evaluate payment arrangements, collection alternatives, penalty issues, or other available tax-resolution options. No specific option applies automatically, and eligibility depends on the facts of the case.
An IRS notice is commonly a standardized communication about a tax account, balance due, return adjustment, missing filing, or collection matter. An IRS letter may request documents, explain an examination or proposed change, provide a response deadline, or address a more specific issue. In either case, the notice or letter number, tax year, instructions, and due date determine what action may be required.
These notices commonly relate to an unpaid tax balance. CP14 is generally an initial balance-due notice, while CP501 and CP503 are reminder notices. A CP504 is a notice of intent to levy and should be reviewed promptly because it may indicate that the IRS is progressing toward collection action. The appropriate response depends on the amount owed, tax years, filing history, financial circumstances, and whether you agree with the balance.
An LT11, CP90, or Letter 1058 may be a final notice of intent to levy and may provide Collection Due Process hearing rights. These letters have important response deadlines, and the notice should be reviewed immediately to understand the action proposed, the available rights, and whether a response or representation is needed. The IRS states that CP90 notifies a taxpayer of intent to levy certain assets for unpaid taxes and of the right to a Collection Due Process hearing.
Yes. Badran Tax provides IRS and state audit representation for individuals and businesses receiving examination notices, audit letters, document requests, or proposed adjustments.
