The tax season doesn't end on April 15th. We provide year-round support to handle IRS letters, correct filing errors, and represent you during audits so you never face the IRS alone.
Post-filing tax support is everything that happens after your return is already filed. That includes responding to letters from the IRS, fixing mistakes on a previously filed return, catching up on years you missed, requesting penalty relief in writing, and pulling old transcripts when a lender asks for them.
Most tax preparers close up shop on April 16. We don't. If a notice shows up in July, or you realize in November that you forgot to report a 1099, or your mortgage lender needs three years of transcripts you can't find, you need someone you can actually reach.
JK Tax Services provides post-filing support for individuals and small businesses across Homer Glen, Lemont, Lockport, Orland Park, New Lenox, and all of Will County. Year-round. Same Jack K. who filed your return is the one who answers the phone in October.
Receiving a letter from the IRS can be intimidating, but it is often just a request for clarification. Our notice response services handle the communication for you. We analyze codes like CP2000 (Underreporter Inquiry) or CP14 (Balance Due) to verify their accuracy. If the IRS is wrong, we draft the dispute letter; if they are right, we guide you on the best payment resolution to avoid escalating penalties.
If you discovered a mistake after hitting "submit"—whether it’s a forgotten W-2, a missed credit, or an incorrect filing status—our amended return services can fix it. We prepare and file Form 1040-X to correct errors from the past three years. This process is essential not only for compliance but often results in additional refunds for clients who originally missed valuable deductions.
Software Doesn't Read Your Mail
Most "post-filing support" included with tax software is a generic call center reading from a script. They cannot pull your IRS transcripts, draft a real notice response, or file an amended return for you. JK Tax Services handles the work directly. We read the notice, confirm what the IRS is actually asking, and write the response so you do not have to figure it out alone.
Get StartedYes, you can file an amended return (Form 1040-X) after receiving your refund. If the amendment results in you owing money, you should file it and pay the tax as soon as possible to minimize interest. If the amendment results in an additional refund, you generally have up to three years from the original filing date to claim it.
If you are a client of JK Tax Services, we keep digital copies of your returns on file. If you filed elsewhere, you can request a "Tax Return Transcript" from the IRS using the "Get Transcript" tool on IRS.gov or by filing Form 4506-T. Transcripts are often required for mortgage and student loan applications.
Filing back taxes is one of the most common reasons people reach out. We pull your IRS wage and income transcripts, reconstruct each missing year, and file the returns in the right order. If you owe a balance, we can help request penalty abatement and set up an installment agreement so you can move forward without surprises.
Filing an amended return does not automatically trigger an audit, but the IRS does review amended returns manually (unlike the automated processing of original returns). If your amendment claims a large refund or significantly changes your income without clear explanation, it may draw closer scrutiny. We ensure every amendment is fully substantiated to prevent this.
