IRS Audit Representation

Most IRS audits are correspondence audits: a letter asking you to prove a few specific items, such as a credit, a deduction or business expenses. An office audit asks you to bring records to an IRS office, and a field audit means an IRS agent visits your home or business. The letter tells you which type it is, which year is under review, and which items the IRS is questioning.

A CP2000 notice is not technically an audit. It's an automated mismatch between your return and the forms the IRS received, and it's often resolved with one written response.

With a signed power of attorney (Form 2848), we become the IRS's contact. We review the audit letter and your return, pull your IRS transcripts, and organize your records around exactly what was asked for. Then we send a clear, documented response or meet the auditor in your place. You usually don't have to attend at all.

If records are missing, we help rebuild them from bank statements, invoices and third-party records. If the auditor's findings are wrong, we push back, and if needed we take the case to the IRS Independent Office of Appeals.

We represent taxpayers regardless of who prepared the return, including software and preparers who can't represent you. Enrolled Agents have unlimited rights to practice before the IRS in all 50 states, so we can take over at any stage, even if the audit has already started.
