Know exactly what the IRS knows before you make a move.
You can obtain a copy of your IRS file, which typically includes your filing and payment history, prior notices, assessed balances, and internal transcripts of the account activity the IRS has recorded on your case. Before deciding on a resolution strategy — a payment plan, an offer in compromise, or anything else — it's essential to see the full picture the IRS is working from.
Requesting the file yourself is possible, but it can be easy to raise unintended questions or trigger closer scrutiny if the request isn't handled correctly. It also takes real skill to read a transcript accurately and translate what it means for your case.
