Identify the notice before acting
Understand the letter, the deadline, and the records behind it.
Tax notices vary widely. The right next step depends on the agency, notice number, tax year, filed return, and facts connected to the issue.
Michigan notices
Compare the state letter with the filed Michigan return, withholding, credits, and supporting records.
- Proposed adjustment review
- Refund or credit verification issues
- Supporting-document organization
Michigan city notices
Review questions involving city residency, work location, withholding, or filing against the applicable city return.
- Residency and address timeline
- City wage and withholding review
- Filed-return and evidence comparison
Replace uncertainty with a plan
Do not pay, ignore, or dispute a notice until you understand what changed.
The first goal is to determine whether the notice matches the filed return and available records. The next is to identify the practical response options.
Send the notice for reviewNotice identified
Confirm the agency, tax year, issue, and response deadline shown in the letter.
Return compared
Compare the notice with the filed return and relevant supporting documents.
Options explained
Understand whether the next step may involve documents, payment, correction, or further review.
Scope protected
Know what the initial review includes and what would require a separate agreement.
Scope before action
The notice determines the work—not the size of the envelope.
Initial notice review
Identify the issue and the practical next step.
Starting pointQuotedafter review
The initial review may include:
- Complete notice and deadline review
- Comparison with the related filed return
- Identification of missing supporting records
- Plain-English explanation of next-step options
Additional response work

What should I send for a notice review?
Send every page of the notice, the envelope when the mailing date matters, the complete related tax return, and any documents tied to the issue. Do not send only the first page or a cropped screenshot if additional pages contain deadlines or instructions.
Should I pay the amount on the notice immediately?
Payment depends on whether the notice is correct, the deadline, available records, and the taxpayer's circumstances. A review helps identify the issue and options, but it does not extend a deadline. Avoid ignoring the letter while information is being gathered.
Does a notice review include representation?
No. The initial review explains the notice and next-step options. Response preparation, amended returns, evidence packets, or representation are included only when specifically available and confirmed in a separate written scope.
Can Allegiant guarantee the notice will be removed?
No. Outcomes are controlled by the agency and depend on tax law, filed returns, available evidence, deadlines, and the facts of the case. Allegiant does not guarantee an adjustment, refund, penalty removal, or other result.
Can you review a City of Muskegon notice?
Yes. A city tax notice review may include residency dates, work location, local wages and withholding, filed city returns, and supporting residency or employment records, depending on the issue.
What if the response deadline is close?
Submit the complete notice immediately and clearly identify the deadline. Allegiant will confirm service availability, but the taxpayer remains responsible for protecting the deadline unless a separate agreement states otherwise.
