Answers

About the playbooks

What is a tax resolution playbook?
A written, step-by-step procedure for a specific IRS matter — LT11 CDP rights, Offer in Compromise, Trust Fund Recovery Penalty, CP2000, and unfiled returns — with the statute, form, deadline, and typical outcome at each step.
Can I use these playbooks myself?
The playbooks explain the procedure so you know what should happen at each step. Executing them in front of the IRS requires a Power of Attorney and Circular 230 practice rights, which is what the firm provides.
My matter is active — should I wait for the full playbook?
No. If a notice deadline, levy, or Revenue Officer is involved, book the initial assessment now. Playbooks are educational; the assessment applies the procedure to your actual transcripts.
