We monitor what's reliably identifiable in IRS account data — nothing more.
Relief Monitor doesn't guess or infer. Every item below is something we can verify from the account data we have access to.
Tax return filing and processing status
Whether a return has been received and how it's progressing through IRS processing, as reflected in account data.
Balances by tax period
Balance amounts for each relevant tax period, and changes to those balances over time.
Payments posting
When a payment posts to your account, including the amount and the period it was applied to.
Payment-plan status and signals
Whether an installment agreement appears active, and signals such as a missed payment being detected.
Relevant IRS account changes
Other account-level changes that are reliably identifiable and relevant to your situation.
Collection-related account activity where identifiable
Collection-related activity visible in account data, monitored where it can be reliably identified.
Representation and authorization information where available
Information about representation and authorizations on file, where that data is available to us.
Resolution-related changes where reliably verifiable
Changes related to case resolution — such as an Offer in Compromise or other outcome — where they are reliably verifiable in the data.
New liabilities
New balances or liabilities that appear on the account after monitoring begins.
New tax periods requiring attention
Newly added tax periods that show a balance or status requiring attention.
Changes since the previous monitoring cycle
A clear, dated comparison of what's different since the last time your account was checked.
What Relief Monitor does not do
Relief Monitor does not negotiate with the IRS, provide legal or tax advice, guarantee any outcome, or claim to detect every possible issue before the IRS sends a notice. It reports what is reliably visible in your IRS account data.
