Agency question or preparer question?

A notice about your account belongs with the agency that sent it. Preparing a return, organizing missing records, and planning for next year are preparation and advisory conversations.

If a notice arrives while your return is being prepared, mention the type of notice in your inquiry and keep the notice itself out of the website form. Our page on how the process works explains the first steps.
