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 am always intimidated when it comes to taxes , especially since I filed late, but I felt at ease and confident in the office here.
Randy was very professional, thoroughly explained my return, and made recommendations as necessary. If we are still in the San Diego area next year, I will be returning to ABC Tax Service.
Been with Randy for years. Not only is it a friendly environment, reasonable prices you get above and beyond service that extends beyond tax season.
I was referred to Randy by a colleague who said nothing but positive things about her years of experience with him. I have to say I was very impressed. He was organized, knowledgable, professional and provided sound consultation on financial goals I have for the next year.
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’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.
