The problem
IRS notices are often about a mismatch: income reported to the IRS by an employer, bank or app that doesn't appear on your return. Others ask for a missing return, request documents, or show a balance due.
Each notice has a response deadline. Ignoring it usually makes things worse — additional tax, penalties and interest can be assessed, and the next letters get more serious.
Who this is for
- Anyone who received a CP2000 or other IRS notice
- People with a letter from the California Franchise Tax Board
- Taxpayers asked for a missing return or documents
- Anyone with a notice they don't understand
How we help
We start by reading the notice and pulling your IRS account transcripts to see what the agency has on file. Then we explain, in plain language, what the notice means and what it's asking for.
We explain your IRS or California notice and prepare any missing returns or information it requests, so you can reply completely and before the deadline. If you need representation, we connect you with our trusted resolution partners.

Frequently asked questions
What is a CP2000?
A CP2000 is an IRS notice proposing changes because income or payment information reported to the IRS doesn't match your return. It is not a bill, but it does require a response by the date shown.
What if I disagree with the notice?
We'll explain what the notice is based on and help you gather the documents related to it. If you need someone to present your case to the IRS, we connect you with our trusted resolution partners.
Should I call the IRS myself first?
You can, but it helps to understand the notice and have your records ready before you call. Send it to us first and we'll explain what it says.
Can you represent me before the IRS?
No. Olmeca doesn't represent clients before the IRS. If you need representation, we connect you with our trusted resolution partners.
