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’ve used Randy for the past several years. From the start, he identified tax refund opportunities for the previous year and the year before that with a retroactive review. Randy is quite responsive and very proactive with scheduling our time together. He’s been flexible with my previous extensions as well as my changing life situation over the years.
Randy has been filing my taxes for three years. His service is fast, professional and he is always up to speed with the current tax laws (as they are always changing).
I found Randy online. Yahoo to be exact and he’s done my taxes twice so far and i plan to continue to use him. Good guy, professional, quick but thorough. I use to use H&R Block and TurboTax but I found that they didn’t maximize my refund. Randy does.
Randy is always available to assist with any questions or troubles that may be encountered with the IRS or California Franchise Tax Board. He has resolved matters and concerns we have encountered in the past, without delay.
Randy has done a great job with our return the last couple of years even with complicated filing. I would recommend Randy to anyone and we gladly make the hour drive from San Clemente down to San Diego to have him handle our taxes.
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.
