Help Me Get a Fair IRS Review

I never expected I’d be asking strangers for help to defend myself against an IRS determination—but I’m there now. What started as a routine 2019 tax filing during a high-conflict divorce turned into a case that feels less like “paperwork” and more like a threat to my livelihood. I did what you’re told to do: I responded in writing, organized exhibits, followed the procedures, and kept pushing for a fair review based on the rules. But the process hasn’t moved in a straight line—requirements changed, explanations shifted, and long stretches of silence followed. Then it became real: offsets, escalating notices, and the fear that they can take money—or worse—before a fair review is ever completed. Below is the assessment as of December 15, 2025 as interest and penalties accumulate as I attempt to fight the IRS.
