The IRS is an organization with limitless resources and trained professionals whose job is to maximize the government's interest in each audit case. So, you need trained professionals to represent your interest if you are being audited, in order to level the playing field.
If you do have a skilled attorney helping you, it telegraphs to the IRS that you are taking it seriously, and that they will have to be at their very best to try and prove the case against you. Prior to going through the audit, we will perform an audit of our own to identify any weaknesses in your bookkeeping and accounting. This is a great way to prepare so you know where the potential landmines are, if any. If you are being audited for a specific year, the investigation may expand to other years as the Auditor goes through the records. So, you must take any audit, big or small, very seriously.
Meeting with the IRS Auditors in either their offices or our office is the only way to go - you never want them stepping foot inside your house. They send their best people out for those audits and it can be very intimidating.
Audit rates are on the rise, and we are all much more likely to be audited today than a decade ago. If you receive an Audit Notice from the IRS, you must take it very seriously, whether you are concerned, or feel you have nothing to worry about. We have carefully represented our clients in audit engagements of all kinds, and bring experience and professionalism to the process. As attorneys and CPAs, we specialize in all areas of taxation and known how to comply with audit procedures. You need to level the playing field if the Federal Government is auditing you, and you will need knowledgeable experts to deal with the IRS head to head. You can count on our team to effectively defend you.
