For expats filing abroad, delayed IRS notices are a common issue. Learn how to deal with late IRS notices with the tax experts at H&R Block.

Unfortunately, for filers living outside of the United States, IRS notices are often delivered late. If the time to respond to your notice has passed when it arrives, you should contact the IRS via phone to determine the status of your account. When speaking with a representative, be sure to ask whether any additional interest, penalties, or collection action has been taken. Or let us take care of it when you choose H&R Block’s Advanced Notice & Audit Support.

H&R Block Expat Tax has always been fast, efficient and answers my questions. For 10 years I filed everything myself and never received a refund. Now I get a big refund every year! Wish I had known sooner. I highly recommend HRB Expat Tax.

I live in Kenya now and run my own online digital marketing business. Using this service has helped me save tons of time and energy on my taxes. I am also really relieved that they will help if I need it during audits. It really makes living abroad and doing taxes a million times better.
