Build the escalation summary

Enter the notice details below. The summary uses the escalation format your senior partner or tax-controversy team needs to triage and act — notice number, dates, deadline, client position, and recommended next step.

Client name

Taxpayer / entity context

Notice number

IRS action

Notice date

Date received by firm / client

Tax year / period

Amount at issue

Response deadline (from notice)

Client position

Firm prepared the return?

Prior IRS history

Recommended immediate action

How to use this summary

Once generated, copy the summary and:

Paste it into an email to your senior partner — subject line: IRS Notice Escalation — [Client] — [Notice Number] — Deadline [Date]
Drop it into your practice management system (Canopy, TaxDome, Karbon, Clio) as a note or task
Save it to the client file as the intake record

The summary captures the facts needed to make a triage decision without requiring the partner to hunt through the notice. It is not a response strategy — it is the intake record that makes the strategy conversation efficient.
