    IRS Summons

    Respond to and challenge IRS summons for records and testimony.

    An IRS summons is a formal legal demand for your records, your testimony, or both. Unlike a standard notice, a summons can be enforced in federal court, and ignoring one can escalate your case quickly. The IRS may also serve a third party summons on your bank, employer, or accountant to obtain records about you. Our enrolled agents review exactly what the summons covers, file power of attorney so the IRS communicates through us, and prepare a response that protects your interests. In many cases we can narrow the scope of what must be produced, arrange compliance on a workable timeline, and use the summons as a starting point to resolve the underlying tax problem rather than just the document request.

    Is this your situation?

    • A revenue officer or agent personally handed you or mailed you a summons
    • Your bank notified you that the IRS requested your account records
    • You received a summons demanding you appear and give testimony
    • You were summonsed for records from years you have not filed

    How We Resolve It

    1. 1

      Review the summons

      We read exactly what is demanded, from whom, and by when, and identify what is properly within scope.

    2. 2

      File power of attorney

      Form 2848 puts us between you and the IRS so communication runs through our office.

    3. 3

      Respond strategically

      We arrange compliance, negotiate scope and timing, and prepare you thoroughly if testimony is required.

    4. 4

      Resolve the underlying issue

      A summons is almost never the real problem. We address the audit, collection case, or unfiled returns behind it.

    • Representation at any required appearance
    • Preparation before you answer any IRS questions

    • Free, confidential consultation

    Frequently Asked Questions

    No. A summons is legally enforceable, and the IRS can ask a federal court to compel compliance. The right move is a timely, well prepared response, which is exactly what we build for you.

    Some summonses require personal testimony, others only records. We determine which applies, appear with you when testimony is required, and prepare you for every question beforehand.
