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.

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’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 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.
Randy prepared the returns for my brother-in-law and his Trust, for which I am the trustee, in less than a week.
I’ve had my taxes prepared at ABC Tax Service for several years now and wouldn’t go anywhere else. Randy is extremely competent at what he does. My refund always arrives very quickly, my appointments are always on time, and I spend very little time waiting while Randy completes my taxes.
I am always intimidated when it comes to taxes , especially since I filed late, but I felt at ease and confident in the office here.
