IRS Audit Defense FAQ’s
Common Questions on IRS Audit Defense filing.
What exactly is IRS Audit Defense?
Audit Defense is a representation service where Enrolled Agents and CPAs stand between you and the IRS during an examination. This service ensures that the IRS adheres to procedural rules and that your interests are protected from incorrect tax assessments.
Will I have to talk to the IRS auditor myself?
No. Once we file a Power of Attorney (Form 2848), we handle all meetings and phone calls on your behalf. This prevents you from inadvertently sharing information that could expand the scope of the inquiry.
How long does an audit usually take to resolve?
While timelines vary, we work to accelerate the process by providing the IRS with perfectly organized technical documentation that meets the auditor’s requirements the first time, often resolving cases in several months.
What if I lost my records for the audit year?
If original records are missing, our team can often reconstruct your financial history using bank statements and electronic data. We present secondary evidence that the IRS can legally accept to support your tax position.
Is it possible for an audit to result in a refund?
Yes. During our diagnostic review, we look for missed deductions or credits not claimed on your original return. This ensures the final report reflects the most favorable tax outcome allowed by law.
What is the cost of professional audit defense?
Cost is determined by the severity of the IRS notice and the tax years involved. We provide a transparent, flat-fee quote during your consultation based on the technical complexity of your defense strategy.
