Audit support
We guide you through the whole examination process: handling communication with the IRS, preparing the supporting documentation, and working to minimize your liabilities. Resolving what is open properly — rather than just closing the file — is also what stops the same question being asked again next year.
Tax defense
Defense starts with analyzing your actual tax position rather than only the item the IRS has queried. We then defend the items on your return and work to keep any additional liability as low as the facts allow.
What an audit usually looks like
Most examinations of individual returns are correspondence audits: the IRS asks for documents supporting one or two items by post, and it is resolved without anyone meeting. Full field examinations are comparatively rare. Either way, the first thing to do is send us the letter before replying to it.
What we can and cannot promise
No one can guarantee the outcome of an audit, and you should be wary of anyone who does. What we do commit to is this: a credentialed practitioner handles the correspondence, you see every document before it goes to the IRS, and we tell you plainly if we think the IRS position is correct rather than billing you to fight something unwinnable.
