The IRS Notice Survival Kit

Stop Your IRS Audit Before It Starts. Use this EA-approved 5-step checklist to control the scope and protect your rights.

🔍 1. ID Your Notice: Find the Notice Number (CP2000, LTR 3219) in the top right.

📅 2. Set the Clock: Highlight the deadline date—missing it loses your appeal rights. 

🛡️ 3. Control the Scope: Never call and "explain" unstructured—it expands the audit. 

📂 4. Build Your Proof: Match W-2s, 1099s, and logs to your filed return. 

⚖️ 5. Get Legal Coverage: File Form 2848 (Power of Attorney) so we speak for you.
