IRS tax debt case companion
One letter rarely closes an IRS tax debt case. The record does. Open a case for your installment agreement, offer in compromise, or CP14 notice: the companion tracks your deadlines from your own notice dates, drafts each letter in sequence, logs every exchange, and bundles the whole thing into a printable case pack.
Open your case
Draft savedAdd the tax years, the balance, the notice date, and the facts to open a solid case file.
Generate letters in sequence as the case develops: first the request, then the follow-up, then the revised request if the first one is answered. Each new letter references the earlier record. For a standalone single letter, use the dedicated installment agreement or offer in compromise letter tools linked below.

What actually moves an IRS tax debt case
The record beats the argument
A dated written request, a logged reply, a certified-mail receipt: that chain is the whole case. Start every case by opening a case file the same day the notice arrives, and keep a copy of everything you send.
Answer in writing, in order
First request, follow-up, revised request. Skipping straight to a second, different ask usually confuses the file, because there is no record the first request was answered. Each letter in the sequence references the ones before it.
Deadlines come from your notice
This page computes no IRS deadline of its own. The response deadline is the notice date plus the days stated on your notice, and the notice itself is the authority. Read it the day you open the case, and never quote a deadline you have not seen printed there.
Stay current while the case runs
File new tax years on time and keep new balances current through the whole case. A new unpaid year can undercut an installment request or an offer, so the case checklist tracks that alongside the letters.
FAQ
How is a case companion different from a single IRS letter generator?
A single letter ends the job. A case companion keeps the whole case: the notice, the deadlines computed from your own dates, every letter in sequence, a log of IRS contact, and a certified-mail log, saved on your device so you can pick the case up weeks later. Use the standalone installment agreement and offer in compromise letter tools when you only need one letter.
What do I need to open an IRS tax debt case here?
The tax years owed, the total balance from your notice, the notice reference if you have one, the notice date, and the number of days the notice gives you to respond, copied from the notice itself. Add the monthly payment or offer amount you propose, in your own figures. Leave anything blank if you do not know it.
How are the deadlines computed?
Only from dates and day counts you enter: the response deadline is the notice date plus the days stated on your notice, computed on your device. The tool states no IRS deadline of its own, because deadlines come from your notice. Always check the notice itself before relying on any date.
Does this tool file anything with the IRS or talk to the IRS for me?
No. It drafts letters from your facts and organizes your case file. Your prompt is sent to our AI service to draft the letter; the deadline and payment math are computed on your device. You send, mail, or file everything yourself, and you keep a copy of each letter.
Is this tax advice?
No. This tool organizes your facts, computes your deadlines and payment math from your own figures, and drafts letters from what you enter. It does not advise which option is best, does not predict an IRS decision, and does not interpret your tax situation. Verify the notice and talk to a tax professional for advice about your case.
