IRS Checkup
Comprehensive IRS Checkup & Transcript Analysis
An IRS Checkup is a vital preventative review to secure your tax standing. Total Tax Solutions pulls and evaluates your official government master records to identify filing errors, uncover hidden penalties, and protect your personal and business assets.
Complete Transcript Audit
We pull and analyze your wage, income, and account transcripts directly from official IRS systems to see exactly what the government sees.
Penalty & Error Detection
We identify miscalculated balances, uncredited payments, and improper penalty assessments before they compound.
Enforcement Defense
We detect pending tax liens, bank levies, or automated Substitute for Return filings to safeguard your liquid accounts.
What is Included in Your Comprehensive IRS Checkup?
Our licensed CPAs conduct a structured examination of your federal and state tax compliance records:
Master Transcript Review
We access and cross-reference your return transcripts, account transcripts, and wage/income transcripts to ensure third-party reporting matches your filings.
Filing Status Verification
We pinpoint missing returns across all prior tax years to ensure your record satisfies official IRS compliance standards before notices escalate.
Statute of Limitations Audit
We calculate your Collection Statute Expiration Dates (CSED) under IRC statutory guidelines to determine if older liabilities are nearing expiration.
Penalty Relief Evaluation
We review your history to verify eligibility for First-Time Penalty Abatement waivers or reasonable cause relief on accrued late penalties.
Common Red Flags Uncovered During an IRS Checkup
1. Unreported Income Discrepancies: Automated IRS matching systems flag missing 1099 or W-2 income, triggering unexpected CP2000 deficiency notices.
2. Mismatched Estimated Payments: Misapplied quarterly estimated payments or business deposits lead to erroneous balance-due demands.
3. Automated Substitute Returns: If the IRS filed an SFR on your behalf, we prepare accurate replacement returns with all eligible deductions.
Frequently Asked Questions About IRS Checkups
Will an IRS Checkup trigger an audit?
No. Requesting official tax transcripts is a routine administrative procedure. It does not flag your account or increase your risk of an audit—it simply allows licensed practitioners to view your record accurately.
How long does an IRS transcript review take?
Once you authorize our firm, we can typically access your transcripts electronically and provide a detailed diagnostic report and action plan within 24 to 48 hours.
