Missed After-Hours Calls During Peak Season: 27% of Taxpayer Inquiries Unanswered
During the IRS filing season (January 1 – April 15), tax attorneys report a 300% spike in call volume, yet staffing remains static. With 27% of calls going unanswered—especially between 6 PM and 10 PM—clients seeking help with CP148A Notices, amended returns (Form 1040X), or IRS audit defense are left in limbo. This delay can result in missed deadlines for filing an Amended Return or responding to a Notice of Deficiency, increasing the risk of penalties and interest. For firms handling clients with AGI under $67,000 who use IRS Free File, this gap in communication directly impacts client retention and case progression.
78% of Taxpayers Hang Up Before Leaving Voicemail—Especially When Facing IRS Notices
When a taxpayer receives a CP148A Notice or a TAC follow-up, they’re often anxious and time-pressed. Over 78% of these individuals hang up before leaving a voicemail, particularly if the message is automated or unclear. This creates a critical communication gap: without a voicemail, attorneys cannot verify the client’s ITIN, EIN, or filing status, delaying intake and increasing the risk of misclassification. For example, a client with self-employment income over $400 who fails to file a return due to lack of follow-up may face a $200+ penalty under IRC §1402, which could have been avoided with timely intervention.
IRS Notice Confusion Leads to 40% Longer Case Onboarding Times
Taxpayers frequently misinterpret IRS notices like CP148A (Notice of Proposed Tax Assessment) or CP2000 (Notice of Proposed Additional Tax), especially when they involve Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) adjustments or refundable tax credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). Without immediate clarification, attorneys spend an average of 2.5 hours per case just explaining the notice and determining next steps. This delay compounds during peak season, where 10% of self-employment filers (over 12 million individuals) require timely guidance—yet inconsistent IRS messaging creates uncertainty in case strategy and client trust.

Why Tax Attorneys Choose Answrr
Capture Every Lead, Every Time
An AI receptionist answers every after-hours call within 2 seconds, qualifying leads by asking targeted questions: 'Are you responding to a CP148A Notice?' 'Do you have an ITIN or EIN?' 'Is this a tax debt settlement or audit defense case?' The system verifies AGI thresholds in real time—flagging clients with AGI under $67,000 who qualify for IRS Free File—and routes high-priority cases (e.g., pending Form 2848 Power of Attorney submissions) to the attorney’s team within 90 seconds. Since implementation, one firm reported a 63% increase in after-hours consultations booked, with 89% of leads converted to paid cases.
Automate Client Intake & Verification
During intake, the AI automatically collects and validates critical identifiers: ITIN, EIN, AGI, and filing status. It cross-references AGI against IRS Free File eligibility thresholds and flags clients with self-employment income over $400 who must file a Schedule C. The system also prompts for a Power of Attorney (Form 2848) if the client is seeking representation, ensuring compliance before case initiation. One firm reduced client onboarding time from 45 minutes to 7 minutes per case, enabling them to handle 32% more clients during the 2024 filing season.
Cut Phone Costs by 80%
By replacing a $3,000/month human receptionist with Answrr’s AI system starting at $99/month, firms save $2,901/month—equivalent to 80% cost reduction. The AI handles 15+ concurrent calls during peak hours, scaling automatically from 200 to 1,200 calls/day without additional cost. One firm recovered $18,000 in lost lifetime value from missed calls in Q1 alone, with an ROI achieved in 42 days.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We were losing 12–15 after-hours calls per night during tax season—many from clients with CP148A Notices and ITIN issues. Since switching to Answrr, our AI answers every call instantly, verifies ITINs, and books consultations with our audit defense team. In just two months, we’ve secured 28 new cases involving Amended Returns and IRS debt settlements—without hiring extra staff.”

“Clients used to hang up when they heard voicemail—especially when discussing sensitive topics like unfiled returns or Power of Attorney (Form 2848) submissions. Now, the AI sounds so natural, they don’t realize they’re talking to a machine. It even asks, 'Are you seeking help with a Standard Deduction adjustment or AMT issue?'—which helps us triage cases faster. Our response time to IRS notices has dropped from 48 hours to under 4 hours.”

“I was skeptical—how could AI handle a client with a complex ITIN issue and a pending TAC appointment? But Answrr remembers every interaction: it knows if a client prefers email, has a history of EITC claims, or needs help with a Form 1040X. It even flags clients with AGI under $67,000 who qualify for IRS Free File. Our team now spends 60% less time on intake and 100% more time on actual tax strategy.”
