The IRS keeps track of income you receive from employers, brokerage houses and financial intuitions. Their computer system matches information they receive from these sources to your tax return.
If the IRS thinks you did not report all of your income, they will send you a letter asking for an explanation. Included in this letter is a calculation of how much additional tax they think you owe.
Sometimes these letters are not as bad as they seem. You may have legitimate deductions to offset the increased income. In many cases the IRS will actually wind up owing you additional refunds and interest.

Amended tax returns are somewhat complicated. Changing a number in a tax return can snowball through the return and change the return in several places.
A properly amended tax return shows what was changed in comparison to how it was reported on the initial tax return. This side by side comparison allows the IRS to quickly resolve the matter.

I ended up with alot of different forms this year in which I though it was going to be a complicated, long and drawn out process. To my surprise Randy was well organized, which I love, and was able to do everything in a one hour session which had not happened in my previous tax years.
Most tax preparers are out of pocket after April 15th – I was lucky to find Randy who works through the year. I called on a Monday and he got me an appointment for the next day.
It was very easy to schedule an appointment with Randy (He came recommended from a family member.) He is knowledgeable, reliable and very thorough. Highly recommended.
Randy was such a pleasure to do business with. He is very friendly, helpful, and truly values you as a customer.
Randy is genuine and honest and a master in his trade. I am 100% pleased with his services and am confident in his knowledge and would highly recommend him for all your accounting needs!
work, save, and plan for retirement.
