What’s going on with your taxes?
Pick what sounds like you. Every one of these is common and solvable, and the sooner you start, the better the outcome.
Got a letter from the IRS?
A notice showed up and you’re not sure how serious it is.
Most IRS letters are routine. A CP2000, for example, just proposes a change because the income reported to the IRS didn’t match your return. We read it with you, check it against your own records, and respond before the deadline so a fixable letter stays fixable.
See common IRS notices explainedHaven’t filed in a year or more?
One missed year turned into a few, and now it feels stuck.
Filing voluntarily, before the IRS files a substitute return for you, almost always means a lower balance and more options. As an Enrolled Agent, Chris pulls your IRS transcripts, rebuilds the missing years, and gets you back in good standing without the lecture.
How catching up worksNeed to fix a return you already filed?
A late 1099 arrived, income got missed, or a preparer made an error.
An amended return (Form 1040-X) corrects it. If the fix means a refund, you generally have three years from the original filing to claim it. We rework the numbers and show you the before-and-after before anything is filed.
About amended returnsFiled an extension back in April?
October 15 is the real deadline, and it arrives faster than it feels.
An extension gave you more time to file, not more time to pay, so any balance has been accruing interest since April. We finish the return, pull transcripts for anything you’re missing, and file before the deadline.
Finishing an extended returnSpecialty
Live in NH, Work in MA? We Handle the Cross-Border Part.
Thousands of New Hampshire residents commute into Massachusetts and pay more MA tax than they actually owe. We apportion your wages by the days you physically worked in Massachusetts, file your MA non-resident return (Form 1-NR/PY), and check your withholding so April isn’t a surprise.

What clients say
Real reviews from real Southern NH clients
I truly cannot say enough good things about my experience with Chris & Maria at NH Tax Advisors! I came to them with a rather daunting & messy self-employed tax situation, needing resolution for some previous years' filings.
We had an unexpected situation this tax season when our original accountant suddenly became ill and had to retire. My husband and I were scrambling to find someone new, especially so close to the deadline.
I had a great experience working with Christi Brown. He was incredibly easy to work with and always very reachable. He would respond within minutes or at most a few hours whenever I had a question.

What should I do if I get a letter from the IRS?
Don’t panic, and don’t ignore it. Most IRS letters are routine, like a CP2000 proposing a change when reported income doesn’t match their records. Read it, check it against your own records, and respond by the deadline. We can read it with you and respond on your behalf if needed.
I haven’t filed in a few years. Where do I start?
Start by filing, even if you can’t pay. The failure-to-file penalty is far larger than failure-to-pay, and filing voluntarily before the IRS files a substitute return for you almost always lowers what you owe. As an Enrolled Agent, Chris can pull your IRS transcripts to rebuild the years where you’re missing documents.
I already filed but found a mistake. Can it still be fixed?
Yes. Form 1040-X amends a filed return for missed income, a corrected or late 1099, a deduction you qualified for, or an error another preparer made. If the correction means a refund, you generally have three years from the original filing date to claim it.
I filed an extension. When is my return actually due?
October 15. The extension gave you six more months to file, but not more time to pay, so interest and the failure-to-pay penalty have been running on any balance since April 15. Filing before October 15 keeps the much larger failure-to-file penalty off the table.
I’ve lost some of my tax documents. Can you still help?
Usually, yes. As an Enrolled Agent, Chris can request your IRS wage and income transcripts directly, which recover most of what the IRS already has on file. A lost 1099 or a W-2 from a former job rarely has to hold up the whole return.
Do I need a tax professional, or can I just use software?
Software works fine for a single W-2 and the standard deduction. Once there’s 1099 income, an IRS notice, an unfiled year, or a return that needs correcting, the questions get harder and a mistake costs more. That’s where an Enrolled Agent earns the fee.
