Defend Against IRS publishes general educational information for people organizing IRS notices, tax debt questions, audit records, collection letters, settlement options, appeals, and payroll tax issues.
The site does not provide legal, tax, accounting, financial, or representation services. Reading a page, using a checklist, following a link, or contacting the operator does not create an attorney-client, accountant-client, enrolled-agent-client, fiduciary, or representative relationship.
Use public information carefully
- IRS forms, addresses, program rules, phone procedures, and deadlines can change.
- Your facts may involve deadlines, appeal rights, state tax issues, bankruptcy issues, payroll taxes, or possible criminal exposure that a public page cannot evaluate.
- Do not ignore an IRS notice because a general article seems reassuring.
- Do not send original records unless an official instruction or qualified professional specifically explains why.
For personal advice, consult a qualified tax professional or an appropriate public taxpayer-help resource.
Official places to verify details
IRS rules, form instructions, mailing addresses, program terms, and deadlines can change. Use these official pages to check the current version before mailing forms, making payments, or letting a response date pass.
