Tax audit representation, is a service in which a CPA represents you during an IRS or state income tax audit.  The purpose of a Tax Audit is to verify the income and expenses that you have on your tax return.  The IRS allows for you to have a qualified Certified Public Accountant represent you during the audit. 

What do I need to do if I receive an Audit Letter?

If you receive an Audit letter from the IRS, it is best to contact a CPA to review the letter and determine the best course of action.  Most of the time the IRS conducts a correspondence audit, where they may request supporting documents to be mailed to them to support an expense or income.  

If the IRS is wanting to set up an appointment to meet with them, a CPA will be able to represent you.  The CPA will work with you to gather your supporting documents and explain your case on behalf of you.  As the CPA understands the tax code, they can help explain your tax position.  

Once the tax audit is over

Once the audit is done, the IRS agent will assess any taxes and penalties you owe.  However, the assessment can always be appealed. The IRS may be willing to cut you a deal that will make you happy because they don’t want the case to drag on. This is another time where it pays to have good audit representation form a CPA.  A good CPA will be skilled at escalating the case to make a settlement easier.
