Tax Tip of the Week: Got Mail From the IRS? Open It.

One of the most expensive tax mistakes I see people make is ignoring IRS mail because they’re scared of what it says.

I get it. Seeing that envelope can make your stomach drop. But ignoring it doesn’t stop the process.

Most IRS notices are simply letting you know about:
✔ a balance due
✔ a change made to your tax return
✔ a request for additional information
✔ next steps you may need to take

Sometimes no response is needed. Sometimes action is required. But you won’t know which one applies to you if the letter stays unopened on the counter.

If you owe taxes, acting sooner may help reduce additional penalties and interest—and could give you more options to resolve the balance.

If you’ve received IRS notices or owe taxes, follow this page. I’ll be sharing more tips this week to help you better understand what to do next. Follow us.
