Re: [taxchat] IRS 90 day letter

Call the number on the 90 day letter, explain that the returns are amended, and ask for an audit reconsideration (generic for anything new that happened to the return.).  They will explain where to send the returns, and you will get a response from them.

 

During the ninety day period, the IRS will do everything they can to avoid taking the case to court.  But it does require positive action by the taxpayer.

Subject: Re: [taxchat] IRS 90 day letter

I wasn't aware that an amended return could be done after a 30 day letter. I though that a 30 day letter gave 30 days to come up with any final info that would help the tax payer. And once there is a 90 day letter then a request to meet with an appeals officer or pay the amount due is in order.

I have a client who received a 30 day letter back in June and chose to ignore it.  They have now received a 90 day letter which is the NOTICE OF DEFICIENCY.  My understanding is that it is now too late to amend their tax return and they will have to file a petition to the tax court.  Is this correct?

 

I know this has probably been discussed on here before but what is the process after the petition is filed?  The letter states there is a simplified procedure for small tax cases.  What is the simplified procedure?
