Do Not Answer an IRS Letter Alone

Most IRS contact is not a full audit. It is a computer-generated notice — commonly a CP2000 saying reported income does not match a third-party form — and a great many of them are simply wrong. What matters is that the response is accurate, documented and inside the deadline printed on the letter.

WKE Accounting responds to IRS and Virginia Department of Taxation notices for Gloucester County taxpayers. Our team includes an IRS Enrolled Agent, a credential that carries unlimited representation rights before the IRS, so we can deal with the agency directly on your behalf under a Form 2848 power of attorney.

How We Help When the IRS Writes:

IRS Notice & CP2000 Response

The most common letter is a CP2000 underreporter notice. We check the proposed change against your records, and where the IRS is wrong we say so in writing with the documentation to support it.

Correspondence, Office & Field Examinations

Whether the examination runs by mail, at an IRS office or at your premises, we assemble the substantiation, respond to the information requests and manage the correspondence.

Representation Under Form 2848

With a signed power of attorney our Enrolled Agent deals with the IRS directly — calls, correspondence and meetings — so you are not on the phone trying to explain your own return.

Virginia Department of Taxation Reviews

Virginia runs its own examinations and notices, frequently triggered by a federal adjustment. We handle the state side so the two do not contradict each other.

Penalty Abatement & Appeals

Where penalties have been assessed we pursue relief, including first-time abatement and reasonable-cause requests, and take a disputed result to Appeals when the facts support it.

Payment Plans & Resolution

If tax is genuinely owed, we set up a workable resolution — an installment agreement on Form 9465 or another option that fits what you can actually pay.

When People Call Us

The situations Gloucester County taxpayers bring to us most often:

  • A CP2000 Notice Arrived — The IRS says income was underreported, often from a 1099 or brokerage form
  • A Return Was Selected for Examination — Deductions, mileage or home office claims are being questioned
  • Years Are Unfiled — Returns have not been filed and the IRS has begun substituting its own
  • A Refund Is Being Held — The return is under review and the refund has not been released
  • Penalties Have Been Assessed — Late filing, late payment or accuracy penalties that may qualify for relief
  • A Preparer Made an Error — A return prepared elsewhere needs correcting and defending

Frequently Asked Questions
