Audit Representation

Audit Representation refers to the professional support provided to taxpayers during a tax audit. The process involves:

  • Reviewing Financial Records: The tax authority examines your financial statements, tax returns, and supporting documents to verify their accuracy.
  • Requesting Additional Information: Auditors may request further documentation or clarification to resolve discrepancies.
  • Assessing Tax Liability: Based on their findings, auditors determine if additional taxes are owed, or if there are discrepancies that need correction.

How We Provide Audit Representation:

  1. Initial Assessment:

    • Review Audit Notice: We start by examining the audit notice and understanding the scope and nature of the audit.

    • Evaluate Documentation: Assess your financial records, tax returns, and any requested documents to ensure they are accurate and complete.

  2. Communication with Tax Authorities:

    • Act as Your Liaison: We handle all communications with the IRS or state tax authorities on your behalf, ensuring that all requests are met and questions are answered.

    • Negotiate and Clarify: We work to address any issues or discrepancies identified by the auditors, negotiating resolutions and providing necessary clarifications.

  3. Documentation and Evidence:

    • Organize Records: Gather and organize all required documentation and evidence to support your tax returns and defend against any claims of inaccuracies.

    • Prepare Responses: Draft and submit comprehensive responses to any audit-related inquiries or requests for additional information.

  4. Resolution and Follow-Up:

    • Review Findings: Once the audit is complete, we review the findings and work to resolve any discrepancies or disputes.

    • Appeal if Necessary: If the audit results in an unfavorable outcome, we assist with filing appeals or seeking further resolution.

  5. Preventive Measures:

    • Identify Issues: Post-audit, we help identify any underlying issues that may have triggered the audit and recommend steps to prevent future audits.

    • Improve Record-Keeping: Offer guidance on improving your record-keeping practices to ensure compliance and accuracy in future tax filings.
