Brevitax

See what the IRS has on you — without hiring anyone

Brevitax turns the IRS's own records into a clear picture — what happened, what needs attention, and what to do next — then helps you check again as things change. It's software, not a tax firm.

Got a notice, owe the IRS, filed old returns, or just want to verify everything is actually handled? Start here.

Usually, there's a moment when you need a better answer.

Brevitax gives you somewhere to start.

How it works

Safe and under your control — you upload transcripts from IRS.gov; Brevitax organizes and compares them.

Don't want the DIY route? We can pull your records for you ($99) or join a live call with you and the IRS and request a collection hold ($199). See pricing →

1

Get your transcripts

Upload your IRS transcripts — already have them? Drag and drop. Need them? Get them free: we show you every click on IRS.gov (~10 minutes).

2

See your account organized

Brevitax turns those records into a year-by-year timeline — balances, payments, notices, and what needs attention.

3

Check again when it matters

Upload fresh transcripts when something may have moved. Brevitax compares them against your last review and shows what actually changed.

Your files are encrypted and used only to build your account view — never sold.

The product

Your IRS account should not feel like a mystery.

Brevitax organizes IRS records into a timeline you can follow — without becoming a tax expert or decoding transcripts yourself.

See → Understand → Act → Verify

Example Brevitax screen showing IRS account balance organized by tax year with a suggested next step.

See

First, see what the IRS sees.

Returns, balances, penalties, payments, notices, and collection activity — organized by year and issue in one account view.

Example Brevitax timeline reconstructing how an IRS account balance developed year by year.

Understand

Then understand how you got here.

A balance is rarely one event. Brevitax reconstructs the sequence — assessments, missed payments, penalties, notices — so the situation makes sense.

Act

Know what matters and what to do next.

Not everything requires action. Brevitax separates noise from what deserves attention and surfaces practical next steps from the records.

Verify

Check the records again.

Upload fresh transcripts when something may have moved. Brevitax compares them against your last review and shows what actually changed — payments posted, balances updated, returns processed.

Because “we handled it” should not be the end of the story.

Filing, paying, or submitting does not mean the IRS account has changed yet. Upload fresh transcripts and Brevitax shows what moved — that is what makes it more than a transcript reader.
