Got a Tax Notice? Here’s How One Call with TaxBuddy Solves It

Receiving a tax notice from the Income Tax Department can be stressful — even terrifying — especially if you don't understand why it came or how to respond. For many, the initial reaction is panic: "What did I miss?", "Am I in trouble?", or worse, "Will I get penalized?"

But here's the truth: not all income tax notices are bad — and most of them are solvable. And with just one call to TaxBuddy, you can turn confusion into clarity. Whether it's a demand notice, defective return intimation, or scrutiny under any section like 139(9), 143(1), or 148 — TaxBuddy ensures you're never alone.

Let’s break down exactly how one call can change your entire notice experience.

What Happens When You Receive a Tax Notice?

The Income Tax Department can issue notices for various reasons. Some common types include:

• Section 139(9): Defective Return
• Section 143(1): Intimation or Mismatch
• Section 143(2): Scrutiny
• Section 148: Income Escaping Assessment
• Section 245: Refund Adjustment Notice
• Section 154: Rectification

You might have missed a document, claimed a deduction incorrectly, reported income wrongly, or your TDS data didn't match Form 26AS.

Regardless of the reason, a tax notice needs immediate and correct action — and that’s where TaxBuddy’s Notice Management team steps in.

Why You Should Never Ignore a Tax Notice

Ignoring a notice is not an option. It can lead to:

• Interest and penalties
• Delayed refunds
• Further scrutiny
• Legal complications

Each notice has a deadline, and failing to respond on time can worsen the situation.
