  3. Prepare your next steps
With downloadable step-by-step guidance, including what different types of IRS letters may mean, you'll know exactly where you stand and what to do next.

Remember, TurboTax guarantees 100% accurate calculations. If you pay an IRS or state penalty or interest because of a TurboTax calculation error, we'll pay you the penalty and interest.
