Understanding Audit Support and Representation

Audit support refers to the guidance and assistance provided during the audit process, including preparing documents, responding to inquiries, and addressing any issues that arise. Representation involves acting on behalf of the taxpayer before tax authorities, ensuring that their interests are represented and protected throughout the audit.

Types of Audits We Support

1. IRS Audits: These audits are conducted by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to verify the accuracy of tax returns and ensure compliance with tax laws.
2. State Tax Audits: State tax agencies also perform audits to assess compliance with state tax regulations. Our team is equipped to handle audits at both the state and federal levels.
3. Correspondence Audits: These audits are conducted via mail, where the IRS or state agency requests specific documentation. We help clients respond appropriately to these requests.
4. Field Audits: In a field audit, auditors conduct on-site examinations of a taxpayer’s records. Our team ensures you are well-prepared and represented during these audits.

The Audit Process Explained

Understanding the audit process can alleviate some of the stress associated with it. Here’s what to expect when facing an audit:

1. Notification: You will receive a notice from the IRS or state tax agency informing you of the audit. This notice will outline the specific issues being examined.
2. Preparation: You will need to gather necessary documentation, such as tax returns, receipts, bank statements, and other relevant records. TaxPro Experts will assist in identifying and organizing these documents.
3. Representation: Our team will represent you during the audit, communicating with the auditor, responding to inquiries, and providing requested information.
4. Audit Findings: After the audit, the auditor will present their findings. If adjustments are necessary, we will discuss options for appealing or resolving any disputes.
5. Resolution: Based on the audit findings, we will work with you to develop a resolution strategy, whether it involves payment arrangements, appeals, or adjustments to your tax filings.
