What is your process if I receive an IRS notice or audit letter?

Once you provide the notice, our team reviews your situation, communicates directly with the IRS on your behalf, and represents you through audits, penalty disputes, garnishment or levy actions, and innocent spouse claims if necessary.

What should small business owners in Shakopee bring to meet with a tax pro?

Bring past tax returns, financial statements, business expenses, payroll records, and documentation of major transactions. We also provide a detailed checklist (“What to Bring for Your Tax Appointment”) to help you compile everything efficiently.
