Your copy. Your pace.

Tax notice intake & triage

Use a notice uploaded through the approved portal to create an assigned professional review task with source and receipt date. The design keeps source references, uncertain matches, and approval decisions visible to the responsible accountant. It coordinates an administrative handoff with version checks and an exception queue. The workflow does not interpret the legal effect or compute response deadlines autonomously.

1. Define the starting point

Start with a notice uploaded through the approved portal. A successful handoff produces an assigned professional review task with source and receipt date. Define the accountable owner before connecting systems. The workflow does not interpret the legal effect or compute response deadlines autonomously. A source event is a request to evaluate the current state; it is not permission to make an irreversible change.

3. Check the information

Use invented references in this worksheet. Keep real documents and personal records in an appropriate private system.

Reference field	Working record	Check
notice_id	notice_id	Resolve the stable source reference in the correct client, entity, and engagement.
received_at	received_at	Validate the date, timezone, and approved reporting or review period.
source_page	source_page	Resolve the stable source reference in the correct client, entity, and engagement.
reviewed_action_ref	reviewed_action_ref	Use the authorized owner or reviewed decision; unknown values stop the handoff.

Source of truth and access boundaries

4. Verify the process

Use synthetic examples. Mark a check only after recording what actually happened.

An unreadable date blocks a complete triage.A notice outside service scope enters acceptance review.A repeated source event creates only one current review task.A changed source version invalidates an earlier approval.A named person can resolve an unclear or incorrect result.Work stops when the task is complete, withdrawn, or outside the agreed scope.A duplicate or interrupted handoff can be recovered without repeating a consequential action.Expected result, observed result, and recovery notes
