IRS Audits – get represented by the best tax defense

The average person only has a 1 percent chance of being selected for an IRS audit. That’s one drawing you don’t want to win! If you have been chosen, though, it’s important not to panic. How you respond to an IRS audit request can have a big impact on the outcome of the process in your tax defense.

While an IRS audit is undoubtedly stressful and can be a painful, lengthy process in some cases, following these tips will help you get through it:

  1. Read the letter carefully

Not every notice from the IRS is an official audit, but it’s easy to panic when a letter arrives from them. Take your time to read the letter from start to finish. If they are simply requesting verification of something in your taxes, provide the information promptly. You may be able to avoid a formal IRS audit altogether if you respond appropriately in a timely manner as part of your tax defense.

  1. Do not ignore the audit notice

It’s natural to want to avoid dealing with a massive problem like an IRS tax audit, but it’s not going to go away. Failure to respond will only complicate the matter and will get you into trouble.

  1. Be polite when dealing with the IRS

Kindness won’t get them to reconsider auditing you, but it can make a big difference in how smoothly the audit goes. If an IRS agent visits your home or place of business, be courteous. Remember, they did not make the decision to audit you; they are just doing the job they were hired to do.

  1. Make sure you have an expert on your side

Even if you have well organized tax records, you should never go into an audit without IRS tax audit representation on your side. You have Tax Audit Defense rights during an IRS audit. An experienced expert registered enrolled agent will make sure that those rights are protected and that you are treated fairly.

A tax help expert can be your adviser throughout the audit process, helping to explain complicated terms that the IRS might use and telling you how best to respond through every stage of the audit. With an expert on your side, you can avoid making mistakes that could cost you big. Plus, if the outcome of the audit proves to be unfavorable, as a licensed enrolled agent can help you dispute the findings with an audit appeal or reconsideration for your defense.
