Activate when: a client receives an IRS notice or letter; an examination opens or an IDR arrives; a client has unfiled returns, a balance owed, or a lien/levy pending; deciding whether to appeal an adjustment or collection action; scoping a representation engagement; user says 'IRS notice', 'audit letter', 'exam', 'IDR', 'levy', 'lien', 'back taxes', 'unfiled returns', 'Form 2848', 'appeal this', 'the IRS is after my client'.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# CPA/EA — IRS Representation

> **Not legal or tax advice.** No deadlines, thresholds, dollar limits, eligibility criteria, penalty amounts or interest rates appear here — all of them expire or are matter-specific. **The notice states its own date.** Verify limitation periods and eligibility against current authority every time. Where facts suggest exposure beyond a civil dispute, involve counsel.

**Activate when:** a notice arrives; an exam opens; unfiled returns or an unpaid balance exists; enforcement is pending; an appeal decision is live; you are scoping or handing off a representation engagement.
**Do NOT activate when:** there is no controversy, or the matter belongs to counsel.

## Why this skill

Representation punishes improvisation. Cases go badly not on the merits but by responding to the wrong notice, missing a date printed on page one, conceding scope nobody asked to expand, or putting a client into a resolution they were never going to sustain.

Structure: **an intake gate, two fact phases, four routes.** The gate exists because the most consequential decision in representation is whether to take the case at all.

## Process

### Gate — Before you take the case

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add deciqai/knowledge-skills/cpa-irs-representation@sha256:e7365e6f64e03d10

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.cb4e537, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
