Your IRS File
Your IRS File – Understanding What the IRS Has on Record
The IRS maintains detailed account records for each taxpayer, including filing history, assessed balances, payments, penalties, interest, and enforcement activity. Reviewing this information is often an important step in understanding the full scope of a tax issue.
IRS account records may reveal discrepancies, missing filings, unresolved assessments, or collection activity that is not always obvious from notices alone. Obtaining and interpreting these records can help clarify where a taxpayer stands and what issues need to be addressed.
Why IRS Account Records Matter
Accessing IRS account information may be helpful when dealing with matters such as:
-
Unfiled or missing tax returns
-
Disputed balances or incorrect assessments
-
Accruing penalties and interest
-
Collection activity, including liens or levies
-
Resolution planning and compliance review
Because IRS records use internal codes and terminology, careful review is often required to understand their significance and how they relate to available options.
Using IRS Records as Part of a Resolution Review
Obtaining IRS account transcripts is typically a foundational step in tax resolution analysis. These records help establish the starting point for evaluating compliance status, exposure, and potential resolution pathways.
How IRS information is used—and what steps may follow—depends on the specific facts of each case, including filing history, timing, and enforcement status.
Resolution Guidance and Next Steps
Reviewing IRS account records is often part of a broader tax resolution process that requires structured evaluation.
