Read what the notice asks
Keep every page and enclosure, then explain the letter's action in your own words when discussing your New Orleans concern. A balance-due notice and a document request may need different responses. At Incometaxes Center, income and payment questions are a practical starting point for a conversation in New Orleans.
Incometaxes Center offers tax relief assistance for unpaid IRS amounts and questions about returns or payments. Discuss return questions, unpaid balances, and payment options together, with attention to the income and tax years involved. Incometaxes Center can help you identify questions about the letter and the proposed work. Continue to follow the official instructions printed in the notice. A call to Incometaxes Center can keep the income and payment questions discussion tied to your tax years, notices and account facts.
Keep a copy of anything sent and its confirmation. General website information does not replace the letter's deadline or requirements. Use Incometaxes Center's focus on income and payment questions to frame the next question in New Orleans; it does not predict an IRS result.
Do not discard pages that look repetitive or administrative. Enclosures can contain response methods or deadlines. Keep the source complete and ask which part needs explanation before preparing a response. If you contact Incometaxes Center, say whether your main concern is income and payment questions; that keeps the first question concrete.
