I moved here for a corporate job and earned income in two states. Can you handle that?

We do. Corporate relocation means a part-year return in the state you left, a part-year return in Georgia, and the residency questions that come with the move — moving expenses, timing of the domicile change, and which state can claim you. We sort the residency first, then file both state returns so the same income isn't taxed twice. Get it wrong and the state you left sends a letter.

I got a CP2000 notice. What does that actually mean?

A CP2000 is the IRS computer saying the numbers on your return don't match what was reported to them — usually a W-2, a 1099, or a brokerage statement. It is not an audit and it is not a bill. In most cases it's a mismatch we resolve with a written response and the right documentation. Don't ignore it, but don't lose sleep over it either.

I drive for gig apps and have a regular W-2. How does the gig part get reported?

The gig income is self-employment on a 1099, with the mileage and expenses deductible against it — and self-employment tax on top of income tax. The W-2 stays as wages. The two go on the same return but get reported differently, and the mileage log is what holds up the expenses if the IRS asks. We sort both, claim the expenses correctly, and file the return right the first time.
