When facing an audit, one is guilt until they prove their innocence. Â Moreover most taxpayers are so afraid of the IRS that they never challenge the exhortation assessment made in the audit. Â This is why you need a representative who knows whether the auditor is being fair and reasonable or needs to be challenged.
Taxpayers often seek to retain our firm after an audit assessment. Â While we can often provide value, it is often much more difficult to achieve a fair and accurate assessment of tax owed. Â Those taxpayers who seek competent representation prior to the audit often have a better chance of reducing the assessment or in minimizing penalties.
