Audit Representation

​
Some taxpayers are under the mistaken assumption that an audit can be handled without the need for hiring an authorized representative. Representing yourself in an audit can become a minefield for the unwary.  If the tax audit is mishandled, the examiner may want to expand the audit to other tax years and in certain scenarios may recommend  a fraud referral, which may ultimately be investigated by the IRS Criminal Investigation Division.

​Further, even if you believe that you have nothing to hide, it is generally unwise to discuss your case with the examiner directly without first consulting with your authorized tax representative. 

However, if your case is handled properly at the outset, their is usually no need to appeal the audit or resort to litigation.

We represent clients in the following audits:
  • Income Tax Audits 
  • Sales and Use Tax Audits 
  • Payroll and Employment Tax Audits 
  • California Residency Audits

If you are about to undergo an audit, do not hesitate to contact us.
