OweRight is an iPhone app built for the moment someone opens a letter from the IRS and isn't sure what it means. The IRS sends about 170 million notices to individual taxpayers every year, and the agency itself has called them often long and difficult to understand.
With OweRight, a person takes a photo of each page of the letter. The app explains it in plain English or Spanish and shows the letter type, the amount, the tax year, the date on the letter and the respond-by or pay-by date. Each detail is quoted from the person's own pages so they can check it against the letter. Scanning and the explanation are free, no account is needed, and optional reminders can flag a deadline 7 days before, 2 days before and on the morning of the date.
For letters that ask for a reply, the Reply letter ($29.99 per letter) provides a format for the user to write their own response using facts they confirm. For people who owe more than they can pay, Resolution Options ($79.99 per letter) lays out IRS payment and relief paths that may fit. Both are one-time purchases with no subscription. The website also has free guides to about 150 IRS notices, in English and Spanish.

The problem
High volume. The IRS sends about 170 million notices to individual taxpayers each year. When it announced its Simple Notice Initiative, it said these notices "are often long and difficult for taxpayers to understand." Source: IRS, IR-2024-19, January 23, 2024
Confusion in 2026. According to a Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) report, about 4.2 million individual taxpayers received CP53E notices about refund direct deposit. The report found that unclear instructions and limited awareness caused confusion. Source: Journal of Accountancy, September 18, 2026
Fewer people to ask. The National Taxpayer Advocate reported that the IRS began 2025 with its largest workforce in recent memory and ended the year with one of its smallest, after a 27% reduction. Source: National Taxpayer Advocate, 2025 Annual Report to Congress, Preface
