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.

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.
For 4 years now my wife and I have had our taxes done by Mr. Randy Ames at ABC Tax Services. We have received excellent service and care from Mr. Ames.
I have done my taxes with ABC Tax Service for the second time now. Randy is extremely professional, easy to talk to and seems to understand taxes inside and out. Last year when I worked from home, he went through a bunch of scenarios with me to find out what tax breaks I might qualify for.
Randy was awesome. I set up an appointment online as a new client. Even with the closures due to COVID-19, Randy guided me through an online process and had my taxes processed in a couple of hours.
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.
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.
