Audit Representation Services

In the event of an audit, the law allows you to defend yourself before the IRS and states. You would not show up to court without a licensed attorney, so why would you represent yourself during an audit and put yourself at a disadvantage?

 Representation involves thorough knowledge of the tax law, relevant forms and exceptions to the law. Knowing your rights and the proper application of the tax law to come to a resolution that is just and mutually beneficial to all parties requires having someone skilled and experienced in audit representation.

Understanding IRS Audits

The IRS conducts various types of audits, including:

  • Correspondence Audits: Handled via mail, requesting additional information or clarification.

  • Office Audits: In-person interviews at an IRS office to examine specific items on your return.

  • Field Audits: Comprehensive reviews conducted at your home or business premises.

Audits can be triggered by discrepancies, random selection, or specific factors in your tax return. Understanding the nature of your audit is the first step in effectively addressing it.

What To Do in the Event of an Audit

  1. Understand your rights and responsibilities.
  2. Never agree to a notice unless you have the proper representation beforehand.
  3. Have a professional interpret the notice to properly address it in a timely and thorough manner.
  4. Hire a trustworthy and experienced professional to represent you, know that we are licensed to represent you both at the Federal and State level. We have years of audit representation experience and tax knowledge at NES Tax & Accounting to put you at ease.
  5. Don’t panic, audits can be scary and we can guide you through the process and work to resolve it timely and as most advantageous to you as possible based on the matter at hand.
