The Back Tax Action Kit
A short, printable kit that walks you through a tax debt the way a resolution specialist would: what to do first, what never to do, what to gather, and the questions to answer before you ever pick up the phone with the IRS. Built from the same sourced guidance as the rest of the site, condensed to what you need in hand.
The triage checklist
The first moves in order: find your most recent notice, check its date and deadline, and pull your IRS transcript so you know the real balance.
The do-not-do list
The mistakes that turn a manageable balance into a levy: ignoring final notices, making promises you cannot keep, and talking to collectors unprepared.
The documents checklist
Exactly what to gather before any call with the IRS or a professional, so nothing stalls your case later.
The 12-question worksheet
The questions to answer before any IRS call, plus a fill-in worksheet for your balance, years, and notices, so your case is on paper, not in your head.
