Discovery → Strategy → Execution
IRS records become clear reports (Discovery), your life and finances shape the path (Strategy), and forms, tasks, and deadlines stay tracked (Execution) — with ongoing monitoring as long as you need it.
Discovery
Returns, balances, penalties, payments, notices, and collection activity — organized into Discovery reports by year and issue, not a wall of transcript codes.
Monitor
Filing, paying, or submitting does not mean the IRS posted it yet. Refresh records and Brevitax shows what changed — payments, penalties, notices, and balances — so monitoring stays in the loop.
Discovery is the first step — IRS records into readable reports. Strategy reconciles what the IRS shows with what your household can afford and what you are trying to protect. Execution tracks the work to fix what Discovery found. Monitoring refreshes records so the cycle continues.
Balances, notices, filing posture, and posting sequence — Discovery reports built from IRS source records, not a single scary total.
Income, expenses, and ability to pay — the economics that determine which IRS programs are realistic, not just theoretically available.
Goals, constraints, and timing — what matters in your life while you work through the account, and how you want options sequenced.
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
Discovery — get IRS records (upload your own or we pull them). Brevitax builds plain-language reports: balances, timeline, notices, and what needs attention.
2
Strategy — add your household economics and life constraints. Brevitax ranks IRS-compliant paths that fit what Discovery found and what you can actually do.
3
Execution and monitoring — track forms, deadlines, and submissions; refresh records when something may have moved and see what actually changed on the account.
Your files are encrypted and used only to build your account view — never sold.
Human and financial truth shape the path. Execution tracks the forms and steps to address what Discovery found.
Strategy → Execution
Strategy
A balance is rarely one event. Brevitax reconstructs the sequence — then Strategy ranks options that fit IRS reality, household economics, and what you are trying to protect.
Execution
Not everything requires action. Brevitax separates noise from what deserves attention, surfaces practical next steps, and tracks forms, deadlines, and verification as you move.
Filing, paying, or submitting does not mean the IRS account has changed yet. Ongoing monitoring — fresh records compared to your last review — is what keeps Discovery, Strategy, and Execution honest over time.

No. Transcripts are the starting evidence for Discovery — readable reports of what the IRS has. Brevitax then layers Strategy (your finances and life) and Execution (forms, tasks, deadlines, monitoring) so you can see what the IRS wants, help the IRS understand you, and produce what you both need.
No. Brevitax is software for Discovery, Strategy, and Execution on your IRS account — not a law firm and not someone who takes over your case.
