IRS Tax Audits

IRS Tax Audits

Receiving an audit notice from the IRS can frighten and intimidate any individual or business, even those who have done no wrong.  The audit process can be long, complex and leave people feeling confused and scared.  A tax attorney at the McGuire Law Firm can represent you or your business before the Internal Revenue Service during an income tax audit, employment tax audit or other matter.  Having representation during an audit can save you time and money as well as help present a reasonable outcome from the beginning of the audit.
 

How Would a Tax Attorney Assist Me With a Tax Audit?
At the beginning of any audit, a tax attorney should determine if the main issue in your case is one of law, substantiation, or both.  If the core issue is an interpretation of the law, the attorney will research the matter, the positions taken on the tax return and honestly assess your chance of success or exposure to an additional assessment of tax. You have the decision as to how you want to proceed.  If the primary matter in the tax audit is substantiating your expenses, deductions other items on the return, you must compile the necessary documentation to prove the items on your tax return are correct.  A tax attorney can guide you to properly compiling and organizing the documents in a manner that will give you the best chance to prevent or limit any additional assessment of tax.
