A closer look

More than answers. Real IRS help.

From decoding a single notice to taking simple action and calling for backup when a matter needs a licensed professional, here is the full range of what Rocky handles, always grounded in your real IRS account and current as things change.

Free, no account

Snap a photo or upload any IRS letter, and Rocky explains what it means, what matters, and exactly what to do next, in plain English.

3

Take simple action for you

Under $50k

Rocky does not just explain. For a straightforward balance under $50,000, he can file a simple IRS installment agreement for you, then watch the account until the IRS accepts it. No forms, no 45-minute hold.

Always on

Rocky keeps watch after you file or take action and flags what actually needs you: a new notice, a balance change, or collection activity, before it becomes a problem.

5

Call for backup

When it's serious

When a matter is too complex for a simple fix, Rocky knows it, and connects you with a Rockwater Enrolled Agent to represent you, with your full assessment already in hand.

Built on trust

Grounded in your real IRS account.

Common questions

TaxRock and Rocky, answered.

What is TaxRock, and who is Rocky?

TaxRock is Rockwater Tax's sister company and technology partner. Rocky is TaxRock's AI tax assistant: it connects to your IRS account to explain what is happening, guide you on next steps, and monitor for changes.

Is TaxRock the same as Rockwater Tax?

They are separate companies that hold the same standards. TaxRock builds the technology, and Rockwater is the firm whose Enrolled Agents provide representation. Together they cover both understanding your situation and acting on it.

Is the Notice Decoder really free?

Yes. Decoding a notice with Rocky is free and needs no account. Upload a letter and get a plain-English explanation. A plan that includes your full IRS assessment starts at $9.99 per month.

Is it safe to connect my IRS account?

Yes. Rocky uses read-only access and bank-level encryption, you control what you share, and you can disconnect at any time. Rocky reads your records to explain them, and it does not act on your account without you.

Do I get Rocky if I hire Rockwater Tax?

Yes. Every Rockwater client gets a TaxRock account, so you and your Enrolled Agent work from the same real-time view of your IRS account. Your team also works inside Rocky Pro, which flags IRS changes early and gives them more time to spend on your case.

What if I start with Rocky and it turns out I need more help?

That is exactly the idea. Rocky reads your whole account, and if it shows the matter needs a licensed professional, you come to Rockwater with your assessment already done, so your team can move faster and you spend less getting started.

Do I have to use TaxRock to work with Rockwater?

No. Rocky's tools are there to help, but you can work with Rockwater's Enrolled Agents directly whenever you prefer.
