Nothing strikes fear in the hearts of people more than receiving an IRS audit letter in the mail. Audits take significant time away from your business and family, requiring you to gather mounds of records substantiating each and every item reported on your tax return and develop a comprehensive understanding of tax law.
The IRS agent has a mission to determine the accuracy of your tax return. But if you don't comply with the agent's wishes, the IRS can and will recalculate your tax and send you a hefty tax bill.
Some taxpayers decide to handle a tax audit themselves, and discover they may have been "penny-wise," avoiding a representative's fee, but "pound-foolish," because they received a substantial bill for a significant tax deficiency.
IRS agents are expertly trained to slyly extract much more information from you than you have a legal obligation to provide. Agents know that most people fear them and are ignorant of their rights. As a result, they can use that fear and ignorance to their advantage.
Rarely do my clients even have to talk with the IRS. I can handle it for you so that you need not take time off of your business or job to handle the bureaucracy and paperwork of the IRS. No lost wages or business. You simply forward notification of an audit to me and I handle it.
