Nothing strikes fear in the hearts of people more than receiving an IRS or state audit letter in the mail. Audits take significant time away from your business and family, requiring you to gather mounds of records substantiating each and every item reported on your tax return and develop a comprehensive understanding of tax law.

The taxing authorities leave no stone unturned in its mission to determine the accuracy of your tax return. If you don't comply with the Auditors' wishes, the IRS will recalculate your tax and send you home with a hefty tax bill as your parting gift.

Many taxpayers decide to handle a tax audit themselves, and discover they may have been "penny wise," avoiding a representative's fee, but "pound foolish," because they received a substantial bill for a significant tax deficiency.

You see, tax auditors are trained to extract more information from you than you have a legal obligation to provide. Auditors know that most people fear them and are ignorant of their rights. As a result, they know they can use that fear and ignorance to their advantage.

Rarely do our clients even have to talk with the IRS. We try to handle it all for you so that you need not take time off of your business or job to handle the bureaucracy and paperwork. No lost wages or business. You should just forward notification of an audit to us and we'll help determine what the next steps should be.
