For clients
Your case, on the record — with Cairn
Taxpayers and business owners use Cairn to follow IRS escalation work their CPA is handling, and to activate each case with a clear $200 fee.
How it works
Step 2
Your CPA opens a case
When your firm starts an IRS escalation matter, it appears in your client portal.
Step 3
Pay $200 to activate
One payment per case unlocks CPA work — filings, reviews, and dispatch stay blocked until paid.
What you can do in the portal
- Track case status from intake through resolution
- See urgency and summary updates from your firm
- Activate each case with a $200 one-time fee
- Sign in anytime with an email login code
Privacy & security
We collect tax identification (SSN or EIN) so your CPA can prepare accurate filings. Values are encrypted at rest. Sign-in uses a one-time email code — we never store a client password.
Case fee: $200 one-time per case, paid by you when your CPA opens the matter.
FAQ
- Do I need a password?
- No. Request a code at sign-in or during signup; it expires in 10 minutes.
- When do I pay?
- After your CPA creates a case for you. Until you pay $200, CPA work on that case stays paused.
- Are you a CPA firm?
- Cairn is the platform your CPA firm uses. Firm owners and staff sign in separately under the firm dashboard.
