One-time per letter · Launching soon
Real IRS notices, translated. This is exactly what you'd get for your letter.
Snap a photo or upload a PDF. Your document is processed and never stored.
What it means, which parts matter, and which parts are boilerplate — side by side with the original.
Every date extracted, explained, and added to your calendar with reminders.
Start here if you just got one of these in the mail:
per letter, one-time. Explanation, deadlines, action plan, calendar reminders.
No. Letter Decoder explains what your letter says in plain language and cites official IRS sources. For decisions with real consequences, verify with the IRS or a qualified professional. Every explanation links back to the original text.
It's processed to extract the text and then deleted. We don't store your letters. We'll say this loudly on every page because it matters.
IRS notices first (CP series, Letters 6419/6475), then state tax, insurance, HOA, and collections letters. If we can't confidently explain yours, we say so instead of guessing.
Because the anxiety of an unopened IRS letter costs more than ten dollars. One missed deadline can cost hundreds in penalties.
