Notices for taxpayers from the IRS

by Gina Gatchell | Feb 5, 2013 | Articles

Now that the first and major filing deadline for 2012 of 15 April has passed, taxpayers may be receiving notices from the IRS.

In contrast to the New Zealand system, through which taxpayers receive a Return Acknowledgement upon filing tax returns, the IRS does not send paper confirmations of returns filed.

Electronic confirmations are sent however for returns which are electronically filed, which is extremely useful for tracking returns. We now file most returns electronically through IRS e-file.

Notices can be issued for a multitude of reasons. These come in a standard format, for example, Notice CP05 We’re Reviewing Your Tax Return. We are able to assist with handling and responding to a notice for a taxpayer upon receipt of a signed Power of Attorney, which enables us to act as a taxpayer’s representative.

I'm thankful for finding NZ US Tax Specialists because Gina is one of the few people I know with a working knowledge of the intersection of U.S. and NZ tax policies. Our tax return was accurately completed on time and without any issues. I'm planning to use their services for years to come.

Gina and the folks at NZ US Tax Specialists were very quick to answer a question I had on the NZ tax treatment of US Military pensions, a fairly obscure area of tax law. They're great to work with.

NZ US Tax Specialists has been a lifesaver with regards to a family member’s move from the US to NZ.

While taxes will never be fun, working with NZ US Tax Specialists has brought our stress levels down considerably.

Gina helped us prepare our US tax returns after we moved to NZ during a very busy time. We had no idea what was required as US citizens living abroad, but Gina was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. The work was affordable and well done. We had a great experience and hope to use NZ US Tax Specialists again.

If you're a US expat and need to file a US tax return, then look no further! Gina and her team at NZ US Tax Specialists does outstanding, professional work. I had to amend my US tax return, as I didn't know I had to file a form. Gina got that done, but they also found I'd made an error, and they fixed that for me as well, keeping me in good standing with the IRS. I'm definitely returning next year to get their assistance again.

I have been working with Gina since 2014, when I needed US Tax advice, being both a New Zealand and United States citizen. Over the eight years that we have been working together, I have found Gina to be extremely knowledgeable about the US tax system and the New Zealand IRD. She is quickly able to provide definitive answers to my US tax questions, via her extensive contacts in the US tax department.
Gina is always prompt in responding to my email and phone conversation questions and her professionalism has inspired my confidence in her many times over.
She has guided me through my annual tax return filing with integrity and honesty and I fully trust her to get the job done well each year.
