Online course · IRS Survival Guide
The IRS letter isn’t what hurts you. Ignoring it is.
Most people do one of three things when that envelope arrives: panic, pay whatever it says, or shove it in a drawer. All three cost money. In about an hour, learn to read any IRS notice, know your rights and pick your way out before the deadline picks for you.

Sound familiar?
Be honest. Does any of this sound familiar?
- There’s a letter with a code like CP2000 or CP504 on it, and you have no idea how worried to be.
- The number on it seems to grow every month and you can’t tell why.
- You don’t know whether you should call, write back, pay, or fight it.
- You’ve heard “pennies on the dollar” ads and wonder if any of it is real.
- You run a business, payroll taxes slipped, and you’ve just learned they can follow you personally.
If you nodded at even one of those, keep reading.
Here’s what the IRS won’t put in bold
That letter is often a proposal. Not a verdict.
Take Maria, the freelance designer you follow through the course. Her CP2000 said she owed $4,850: tax, penalty and interest on $12,000 of income she’d missed. Most people would pay it the same day just to make the fear stop.
But a CP2000 is a proposed change. It added her income and ignored the business expenses that came with it. By documenting $3,200 of related costs, she could shrink that balance before agreeing to anything. Same letter. Different ending.
That is the whole point of this course. You stop reacting to the IRS and start responding to it, with the right words, the right paperwork and the right deadline.

Is this for you?
Let’s make sure this is the right fit.
This is for you if…
- You have an IRS notice right now, or you’re scared one is coming
- You owe back taxes and want to know every option before you pick one
- You’re a freelancer or 1099 contractor whose income didn’t match the IRS’s records
- You own a business with payroll and want to understand your personal exposure
This is NOT for you if…

Why now
Waiting has a price.
Every IRS notice has a clock on it, usually 30 days, sometimes less. Penalties and interest keep building while you wait. The best time to understand your options is before the deadline, not after it.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is this tax advice for my situation?
No. It’s education: what notices mean, what your rights are and which options exist. For advice on your own case, book a strategy session with Taxulo.
I already have a notice. Is it too late?
No. That’s exactly who the course is for. Module 2 shows you how to read the notice in front of you and what to do before its deadline.
How long does it take?
About an hour if you go straight through. It’s self-paced, so you can stop and come back.
How do I get access?
Pay once ($30) and you go straight into the course. We also email you a personal access link so you can come back anytime.
Do I need to install anything?
No. The course runs in your web browser.
What if my case is complicated?
The last module tells you exactly when to bring in a professional. If that’s you, Taxulo’s tax resolution team can take it from there.
