Frequently Asked Questions
You've got questions? We've got answers.
What should I do if I receive a notice from the IRS or FTB?
Don’t ignore it. Contact The Pun Group immediately for a professional evaluation. Time is critical with tax notices, as response deadlines can be quite short and missing them can limit your available options.
How much does tax representation cost?
Fees vary based on the complexity of your case. We provide transparent fee structures during our initial consultation. In many cases, our representation saves clients significantly more than our fees by reducing tax assessments, penalties, and interest.
Will I need to meet with the IRS or FTB personally?
In most cases, no. As your authorized representative, we handle all communications and meetings with tax authorities on your behalf, minimizing your personal involvement and stress.
How long does the resolution process take?
Timeframes vary depending on the issue complexity and current tax authority workloads. Simple matters may resolve in weeks, while more complex cases can take several months. We work diligently to achieve resolution as quickly as possible.
Can you help with state tax issues outside of California?
Yes. While we specialize in California FTB matters, our team has experience with tax authorities in multiple states and can provide representation for various state tax issues.
