Defending You is What We Do
The Internal Revenue Manual (IRM) is an Agent's bible. It dictates the rules by which they must abide at all stages of the proceeding. Understanding their guiding principles, in addition to the applicable tax law, is critical to obtain beneficial audit results. That's where we come in. We know the tax law and the Internal Revenue Manual, which enables us to maximize your chances of a successful audit.

Correspondence Audit
This is the most common type of audit. The IRS will ask for certain documentation that the information on a certain area of the return is correct. |
Office Audit
The IRS will notify the individual or business of the specific documentation that needs to be presented at a time, place and date specified by the IRS. |
Home/Field Audit
This is the most serious type of audit. The IRS agent will travel to your home or business office and will examine all documentation that proves everything on the tax return is accurate. |
The audit is scheduled, what do I do?
It's always best to hire a qualified professional so contact us to get a quote. However, we understand hiring someone isn't always possible. The IRS's Taxpayer Advocate Service provides free services to those who qualify, so give them a try. Ultimately, make every effort to attend the audit because it will get expensive if you don't.

What if I don't have all my receipts?
In a perfect world we would have everything we need, but that's rarely the case. The tax authorities are concerned about deductions taken that didn't really exist. So, if you took a deduction and lost the documentation, there is almost always a way for us to prove it, even without receipts, so we can get you out of the audit cleanly.
