Keep every page, envelope, and attachment. Read the tax year and deadline, but do not send original documents unless instructed. C&D can review the notice and explain practical next steps; representation services depend on the issue and professional authority.
Do not email or enter Social Security numbers, birth dates, banking details, IRS account passwords, or identity-protection PINs into ordinary forms or chat. C&D will provide secure instructions when sensitive records are needed.
