IRS tech tools are smarter than ever – Clear Start Tax explains how income mismatches trigger audits, and what taxpayers can do to stay compliant.

IRVINE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / July 16, 2025 / With the IRS expanding its data-matching capabilities through advanced systems like the Information Returns Processing (IRP) platform, taxpayers are finding themselves blindsided by CP2000 notices, audits, or unexpected tax bills, sometimes months after filing. According to Clear Start Tax, understanding how the IRS cross-checks income data in 2025 is essential to staying ahead of costly surprises.

“The IRS doesn’t need to guess – they already have your 1099s, W-2s, and even crypto reports before you file,” said the Head of Client Solutions at Clear Start Tax. “Most IRS notices come from mismatches, not criminal intent. But if you ignore them, they can escalate fast.”

How the IRS Sees Your Income – Before You Even File

Contrary to popular belief, the IRS doesn’t wait for an audit to catch mistakes – most income mismatches are flagged automatically. The IRS’s Information Returns Processing (IRP) system aggregates data from countless sources, comparing it against your tax return behind the scenes. This means the IRS often knows about your income, even if you forget to report it.

The IRP system pulls in data from:

• W-2s from employers

• 1099 forms from banks, brokerages, and gig platforms

• SSA and unemployment records

• Cryptocurrency exchange reports (via Form 1099-DA, coming soon)

• Mortgage and insurance statements

• Foreign bank account data (via FATCA agreements)

These records are automatically compared against your tax return. If a mismatch appears, a CP2000 notice – or worse, an audit flag – can be triggered without warning.

CP2000 Notices Are the First Warning Sign

A CP2000 notice is often the first time a taxpayer learns the IRS found a mismatch in their income reporting. It’s not an audit – yet – but it carries serious consequences if ignored. The IRS uses these notices to propose changes to your return, often with added taxes, interest, and potential penalties.

According to Clear Start Tax, the most common triggers for CP2000 notices in 2025 include:

• Missing or incorrect 1099-NEC or 1099-K gig income

• Reporting investment income incorrectly (e.g., selling crypto without basis data)

• Overlooking unemployment or early retirement withdrawals

• Filing with outdated employer information

• Omitting foreign income or failing to disclose foreign accounts

“In 2024, the IRS issued over 11 million CP2000 notices,” added the Head of Client Solutions. “It’s one of their most common enforcement tools – and most people don’t even know what it is until they get one.”

Avoid Surprises by Matching Records Before the IRS Does

Once the IRS has flagged your return, it becomes much harder to negotiate or correct errors. That’s why Clear Start Tax encourages taxpayers to stay one step ahead by verifying all income sources and tax documents before they file. This proactive approach can prevent costly notices and reduce the risk of enforcement actions.

Steps Clear Start Tax recommends include:

• Reconciling all 1099, W-2, and third-party data before filing

• Requesting wage and income transcripts from the IRS

• Amending prior-year returns with missing income

• Responding promptly and professionally to CP2000 or Letter 6173 notices

• Exploring relief options if penalties or balances are already accruing

By answering a few simple questions, taxpayers can find out if they’re eligible for the IRS Fresh Start Program and take the first step toward resolving their tax debt.

Fresh Start Program Offers Relief – Even After a Notice

For those who have already received a CP2000 notice or now owe tax due to underreported income, you still have options. The IRS Fresh Start Program helps taxpayers reduce, settle, or restructure their debt. Clear Start Tax helps clients determine eligibility and guides them through each step of the resolution process.

Depending on a taxpayer’s financial situation, the program may offer:

• Payment plans based on current ability to pay

• Reduction or removal of penalties and interest

• Settlement for less than the full amount owed through an Offer in Compromise

“Even if you’ve made a mistake, there’s a path forward,” said the Head of Client Solutions. “What matters is responding early – and getting the facts straight before the IRS takes further action.”

About Clear Start Tax

Clear Start Tax is a full-service tax liability resolution firm that serves taxpayers throughout the United States. The company specializes in assisting individuals and businesses with a wide range of IRS and state tax issues, including back taxes, wage garnishment relief, IRS appeals, and offers in compromise. Clear Start Tax helps taxpayers apply for the IRS Fresh Start Program, providing expert guidance in tax resolution. Fully accredited and A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau, the firm’s unique approach and commitment to long-term client success distinguish it as a leader in the tax resolution industry.

WHITE ROCK, BC / ACCESS Newswire / July 16, 2025 / TDG Gold Corp. (TSXV:TDG)(OTCQX:TDGGF) (the “Company” or “TDG”) is pleased to provide an update on the recently initiated reconnaissance and characterization Induced Polarization (“IP”) geophysical survey to the west of Freeport McMoran-Amarc Resources’ (“Freeport-Amarc”) AuRORA¹ gold-rich copper porphyry discovery. AuRORA¹ lies immediately adjacent to the Company’s 100% owned Greater Shasta-Newberry (“GSN”) project in the evolving Toodoggone District of northern British Columbia.

HIGHLIGHTS:

• IP anomaly (“AuWEST”) identified that is contiguous to and may be indicative of an extension of Freeport-Amarc’s AuRORA¹ mineralization;

• Phase I drilling program anticipated to begin July 17, 2025, at TDG’s AuWEST;

• Mapping, soil sampling, and other geological studies are underway with the objective of identifying new targets or to better define existing ones;

• TDG is fully funded to conduct an extensive exploration program in 2025.

Figure 1. Plan Map of IP Anomalies at GSN relative to TDG’s model for the AuRORA¹ mineralization.

2025 Induced Polarization Reconnaissance and Characterization Survey

IP geophysical surveys are known to be an effective technique in identifying disseminated- and stockwork-style sulphides that are often associated with porphyry copper-gold-silver (“Cu-Au-Ag”) mineralization, manifesting as a chargeability anomaly. The GSN project has never been surveyed with IP methods and, to date, the data from three wide-spaced lines completed adjacent to, and to the west of, AuRORA¹ have been deemed fit for purpose and utilized for targeting at AuWEST, a potential extension to the AuRORA¹ mineralization. The first line is located ~75 metres (“m”) from the Freeport-Amarc boundary with 250 m spacing between the remaining lines (Figure 1). The purpose of this work was to better understand the geophysical signature of the AuRORA¹ Cu-Au-Ag mineralization, to test for possible extensions of AuRORA¹ onto TDG’s mineral tenure, and provide a model for drill targeting potential AuRORA¹ analogues along the 12 kilometre (“km”) structural corridor identified on TDG’s mineral claims (news release Mar 03, 2025).

A chargeability anomaly in excess of ~23 millivolts per volt (“mV/V”) on strike and apparently contiguous with the AuRORA¹ mineralization has been identified near surface, and extending to a vertical depth of ~350 m. At surface along the property boundary, the anomaly has a north-south extent of ~320 m and has an apparent plunge to the west. Additional lines are necessary to determine true strike length of the anomaly. This anomaly may represent a potential extension to the AuRORA¹-style mineralization at TDG’s AuWEST target (news release May 07, 2025) and southwest within GSN (Figure 2). Given the nearby AuRORA¹ mineralization, this anomaly clearly merits drill testing. Further, a second chargeability anomaly has been identified with a similar signature, exceeding 23 mV/V, underlying the IP anomaly associated with AuWEST (Figure 2).

Data from additional infill and reconnaissance IP lines are currently being processed and interpreted. Surveyed areas that generate similar anomalous geophysical responses to that associated with AuRORA¹ will be followed up with infill surveys to provide enhanced detail prior to drilling.

Figure 2. Cross Section A-A’ (From Figure 1) illustrating > 23 mV/V IP anomalies adjacent to TDG’s model for the AuRORA¹ mineralization.

Drill Mobilized to Project Site

Drill crews and equipment for a helicopter-supported drill program have begun mobilizing to the project site. Initial drill holes will test for potential mineralized western extensions of the AuRORA¹ mineralization, on to TDG’s mineral claims, guided by the new geophysical data set. Drilling is expected to begin shortly after July 17, 2025.

Notes

¹Adjacent Properties: The Company has no interest in, or rights to, any of the adjacent properties mentioned, and exploration results on adjacent properties are not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the Company’s properties.

About TDG Gold Corp.

TDG is a major mineral tenure holder in the Toodoggone District of north-central British Columbia, Canada, with 100% ownership of ~50,000 hectares of brownfield and greenfield exploration ground.

In 2023, TDG defined the 5.5 sq.km Greater Shasta-Newberry exploration target area (news release Jan 25, 2023) which is located directly adjacent to the gold-rich copper porphyry AuRORA¹ discovery announced by Freeport McMoran Inc. and Amarc Resources Ltd. (news release Jan 17, 2025).

In 2024, TDG identified new copper-gold target areas over an expanded footprint covering ~53 sq.km known as the ‘Baker Complex’ (news release Feb 28, 2024), including the North Quartz (news release Apr 02, 2024) and Trident (news release Mar 07, 2024) targets.

TDG’s other Toodoggone projects within the property package include the former producing, gold-silver Shasta and gold-silver-copper Baker mines, which produced intermittently between 1981-2012, and the historical high-grade gold Mets developed prospect, all of which are road accessible, and combined have over 65,000 m of historical drilling. These projects have been advanced through compilation of historical data, new geological mapping, geochemical and geophysical surveys and, at Shasta, 13,250 m of modern HQ drill testing of the known mineralization occurrences and their potential extensions. In 2025, TDG published an updated Mineral Resource Estimate for Shasta (news release Jan 08, 2025), which remains open at depth and along strike.

In July 2025, TDG closed the acquisition of Anyox Copper Ltd. (“Anyox”, news release July 14, 2025) which holds a combination of crown grants (100% owned and optioned) and mineral claims totaling over 10,000 hectares including the former producing Hidden Creek copper-gold mine – all located within the Anyox peninsula at the southern tip of BC’s Golden Triangle. Exploration at Anyox will commence in late 2025 and gives TDG a first mover advantage to a VMS horizon within a significant past-producing district with copper-gold-lead-zinc-silver potential.

When Obsessive Hospitality Meets Workplace Wellbeing, People Thrive

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / July 16, 2025 / In a defining moment for the future of work, HUNGRY, the chef-driven food and catering platform known for delivering happiness through obsessive hospitality, has officially acquired Garten, the workplace wellness pioneer that helped redefine how leading organizations, from high-growth startups to Fortune 100s, nourish and support their people. This union marks a powerful new chapter where wellbeing and hospitality intersect, providing employers with a comprehensive, scalable solution to nourish their teams physically, emotionally, and culturally.

“This is more than an acquisition,” says Jeff Grass, Co-founder and CEO of HUNGRY. “It’s a shared mission coming full circle. Both companies believe that food and care go hand-in-glove and that how you nourish your people says everything about who you are as an organization.”

From Root to Reach: The Journey of Garten

Founded on the belief that wellbeing isn’t a perk, it’s a performance driver, Garten quickly grew into a leading workplace wellness infrastructure partner and experienced hyper-growth, landing it on Y-Combinator’s Top 100 class SC16 2018-2020. Through curated snack programs, behavioral design, and a proprietary analytics platform, Garten helped companies weave wellness into the rhythm of everyday work.

What began as a premium pantry service evolved into something deeper: a system for shaping workplace culture through nutrition science, sustainability, and an understanding of how environment and daily habits drive human behavior. With its real-time Analytics Dashboard, HR and people teams gained powerful insights, not just into what employees were eating, but into how those choices reflected broader engagement and health goals.

“We never wanted to just feed people,” says Gary Batara, CMO at Garten. “We wanted them to feel seen, supported, and energized by the spaces they work in. Wellbeing isn’t a moment, it’s a movement. It’s a lifestyle.”

By 2024, Garten had reached a critical inflection point. Demand was surging, the impact was measurable, and the model had outgrown its original infrastructure. With recent national recognition (including the 2025 Workplace Wellness Award) and a growing client base seeking scale, it became clear that the next chapter would require a partner with greater reach, deeper resources, and the same human-first DNA.

That partner was HUNGRY.

Why HUNGRY Was the Right Partner

HUNGRY, founded in 2017 and now operating in over two-dozen markets, has built a reputation for transforming workplace dining into memorable experiences. With a curated network of top chefs and local restaurant partners, HUNGRY delivers fresh, high-quality food with flawless execution, eliminating the friction of traditional catering.

Underpinning all of it is a bold, clear promise: We are obsessed with hospitality.

That same promise, to connect people through care, food, and hospitality, is what drew the two companies together. Both believe that feeding people is an act of service, and that experience matters as much as nutrition.

“Garten built something remarkable. But to reach more people, more markets, and deliver on the promise of total workplace wellbeing, scale matters,” says Batara. “HUNGRY gives us that. Together, we can go from changing offices to changing entire work cultures.”

What Clients Can Expect From the HUNGRY + Garten Experience

At the heart of the transition is HUNGRY’s commitment to obsessive hospitality, a mindset that goes beyond simply delivering meals. It means anticipating needs before they’re spoken, customizing experiences to match company culture, and treating every touchpoint as an opportunity to show care. With Garten’s data-driven wellness model and HUNGRY’s hospitality DNA, clients can expect a service that is not only seamless but deeply human.

Clients will continue to receive all the wellness benefits Garten delivered, now with the scale, flexibility, and service precision HUNGRY is known for. Snack and pantry programs will be seamlessly integrated into their national platform, with no disruption to service.

The combined offering includes:

• Chef-curated meal delivery & catering

• Healthy snacks & pantry services

• Micro-market & self-serve kitchen design

• Wellness programming, nutrition analytics, and events

• National scale with local flexibility

Garten’s proprietary data tools will live on as part of HUNGRY’s workplace solutions suite, empowering clients with even deeper insights into how food impacts mood, energy, and engagement.

From a team perspective, the move brings together experts from both companies under one purpose: obsessive hospitality. The message is clear: this isn’t the end of something. It’s a bold continuation under one name.

With this transition, the Garten brand will be sunset, and its offerings will now live under Hungry.

Where Hospitality Becomes Strategy

In today’s workplace, food is no longer just fuel; it’s a signal. And caring for people means more than passing perks, it means embedding wellbeing at the core of your culture. According to Gallup, “When organizations intentionally address both well-being and engagement, the effects are additive and mutually beneficial for employees and business outcomes alike.”

That principle lies at the heart of this acquisition. By combining HUNGRY’s obsessive hospitality with Garten’s wellness infrastructure, the move cements wellbeing not as an afterthought, but as a strategic advantage, one that fuels retention, energy, and performance across teams.

This move reflects a growing shift in the workplace: where hospitality becomes strategy, and where the small daily moments, a better snack, a thoughtful note, and a personalized menu. Add up to something bigger.

“We’re here to shape those moments,” says Grass. “And now, we can do it with more heart, more science, and more scale than ever before.”
