DIY vs DFY Tax Resolution: When to Ask for Help
Some tax problems can be tackled solo. Others? Not so much. Here’s how to know when your situation is DIY-friendly and when it’s time to hire a pro.
DIY Is Fine When…
You received a CP2000 and agree with the changes
You can pay the bill in full, today
You’re comfortable reading IRS letters and filling forms
You have organized books and documentation
DFY (Done-for-You) Is Essential When…
You owe more than $10K
You haven’t filed in multiple years
You’re getting levy or garnishment threats
You’re unsure about forms or IRS terminology
Your business books are a mess
The Risks of DIYing the Wrong Way
Giving up your rights by responding incorrectly
Missing out on relief programs (penalty abatement, OIC)
Triggering audits by filing the wrong response
Compromising future funding by mishandling tax records
Peace of Mind vs Procrastination
Sometimes, paying a professional saves you more than trying to “save money.” We help you get clarity, relief, and a plan of action that’s actually legal and strategic.
