We’ve seen the IRS sending out a lot of letters and a lot of people dealing with with identity theft problems. This has been mentioned on our website blog. We will add PROTECTION PLUS to your tax return prior to e-filing your return.

We have partnered with Protection Plus to provide our clients with audit assistance and identity theft restoration services year round, and we highly recommend this program to all of our clients. Protection Plus [PP] is the leading provider of audit assistance and identity theft restoration services in the tax industry, and we want to ensure that all of our clients have this assistance and peace of mind.

We strongly encourage that you NOT handle any IRS notices yourselves, but instead forward them on to us, for evaluation.
