Of course, before you choose to get the proper audit representation from a tax firm, it is helpful to know why your tax returns were selected for an audit. Keep in mind that the IRS is required to randomly select from all tax returns a certain percentage that will be audited, even if there is nothing wrong with the return itself. Forms 1040, 1041, 1065, 1120, 1120S, Schedules A, B, C, D, E, F and other worksheets.

However, most IRS audits are conducted because there is something that does not add up, something that stands out which requires further investigation. This is when having the right IRS tax audit representation can really help.

Audit Tax Issues

There are several reasons why the Internal Revenue Service may be conducting an audit. You may be surprised to learn that not all audits are the same and getting IRS tax audit representation may not be necessary for at least one reason.

Random: Every year, the IRS is required to randomly audit a certain percentage of tax returns, 1040, 1041, 1065, 1120, 1120S. This means that some tax returns are checked for reasons that have nothing to do with whether they need to be audited or not. In such cases, you will usually get a letter from the IRS informing you of the random audit.

And another letter informing you that everything checked out. In this case representation is not needed unless they find something.

A Mistake was Found: In other words, something in your tax return did not check out properly. It could be a mistake in the figures, a misunderstanding of the instructions, or not having everything filled out properly. Whatever the case, you will be informed that something is not right. In many cases, this means that the tax return is sent back to you for corrections.

If this happens and you make the necessary corrections, then you probably do not need any representation.

A Meeting with an IRS Agent: If you receive a letter informing you that an IRS agent will meet with you, either at their office or yours, that’s an indication of something serious. This is usually more than just a mistake. It is a serious inconsistency or even a suspected criminal infraction if you are requested to meet with the IRS in person. It is as that point where you will need proper IRS tax audit representation.

Experience: EAs, CPAs, Tax attorneys, especially those that have built up years of service in the industry have insight that provides a greater window into the intent of the tax audit itself. This means understanding the difference between an ordinary audit and one that may be looking for criminal intent.

Field examinations/audits are conducted by RAs revenue agents operating out of a local Service office. Field examinations/audits involve a more detailed review of the books and records of the taxpayer than a correspondence examination and generally involve interviews or discussions with the taxpayer or the taxpayer’s representatives.

All examinations of corporate taxpayers with gross receipts greater than $250,000 are handled by revenue agents. Taxpayers who do not run businesses are not likely to experience field audits. Field examinations usually take place at the taxpayer’s place of business. Revenue agents are better trained and generally are more skilled than other Service examiners.

Office audits are conducted at local Service offices. They usually involve more complicated fact issues than those presented in correspondence examinations, but less complicated issues than those encountered in field examinations. Office audits generally involve an interview or discussion with the taxpayer or the taxpayer’s representative. Typical issues handled in office audits include fact-intensive questions, such as entitlement to dependency exemptions, head-of-household filing status, and whether earned income was fully reported. Office audits are conducted by TCOs tax compliance officers.

If the taxpayer requests, the service center (or IRS campus) will generally transfer a correspondence examination to the local office so it can be handled as an office audit rather than as a correspondence examination. This may be particularly helpful with respect to individuals with limited English proficiency or in situations where there are many supporting documents.
