UNDERSTAND THE LETTER
Got a letter from the IRS?
Start with the notice number in the top corner.
You don’t need every answer to ask for help.
Missing returns or several tax years
Explain what you know. Ask whether filing past-due returns is included or charged separately.
Letters or collection activity
Tell the provider about notices, a lien, a levy, or wage garnishment. Keep following the deadlines on your actual notice.
An inquiry does not stop collection or extend a deadline. Providers determine the services they can offer.

STRAIGHT ANSWERSA few things
A few things
worth knowing.
What happens after I send my inquiry?
Your request may be shared or sold to independent tax resolution providers. A receiving firm’s intake or sales representative may call or email to discuss your situation, services, and fees. The Anchor Digital LLC operates this website; it does not make sales calls or send marketing emails. A provider match or response time is not guaranteed.
Does it cost anything to get started here?
There is no charge to submit an inquiry through this website. If you choose to hire a tax resolution firm, its services have separate fees. Ask what is included and get the price in writing before agreeing.
What if I don’t know exactly how much I owe?
Choose the closest estimate. You do not need to upload tax returns or an IRS notice to start. A provider may ask for documents later through its own process.
Can I ask for help if I have unfiled returns?
You can describe missing returns in the inquiry. Tell the firm which years may be missing and ask whether return preparation is included in its services. Missing returns can affect available tax options.
Will I qualify for a reduction in my tax debt?
This form cannot determine that. Available options depend on your finances, filing history, tax debt, and the taxing authority’s rules. No reduction or other outcome is guaranteed.
Who is National Tax Relief Network?
We are an independent marketing and referral service, not the IRS or a tax resolution firm. We may be paid when we share an inquiry with independent tax resolution providers. You can also contact the IRS or your state tax agency directly.
Who will call me—a tax professional or a sales representative?
The first caller may be an intake or sales representative. Ask for the firm’s name and who would handle your case, including their qualifications. You decide whether to hire the provider after reviewing its services and fees.
What if I owe less than $10,000?
You can submit your situation, but our main referral pathway is for balances of $10,000 or more and a match for a smaller balance may not be available. You can also explore payment plans directly with the IRS or your state tax agency.
Does submitting this form stop IRS collection?
No. An inquiry does not stop a levy or wage garnishment, respond to a notice, or extend a deadline. Follow the instructions on your notice and seek timely help if collection action is underway.
