When It Comes to Tax and Audit Representation, We’re in Your Corner
With the IRS auditing less than one percent of tax returns in recent years, you may be thinking it can’t happen to you. But you could be wrong. Especially if you have a lot of business expenses, your tax return is complicated, or you’re in a higher income bracket.
The good news is that nearly 75 percent of those audits are notices or letters sent by the IRS requesting additional information or clarification. The rest are actual field audits.
While you may be tempted to respond to a letter or notice from the IRS, it’s not always a good idea even if you have a firm grasp of tax law. Because as friendly as IRS auditors might seem, they represent the IRS — not you.

Sure, taxpayers can and do prevail during IRS audits, but without an experienced tax professional on your side, it’s less likely that it will happen…and you just might end up owing the IRS money instead of getting a refund.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I can’t pay my tax bill in full?
If you can’t pay your tax bill in full, you can apply for an installment agreement with the IRS. This allows you to pay your taxes over time. It’s important to contact the IRS as soon as possible to avoid penalties and interest.
What happens if I file my taxes late?
If you file your taxes late, you may be subject to penalties and interest on any unpaid taxes. The penalty for filing late is typically 5% of the unpaid taxes for each month or part of a month that your return is late, up to 25% of your unpaid taxes.
What should I do if I receive a notice from the IRS?
If you receive a notice from the IRS, don’t panic. Read the notice carefully to understand the issue, and follow the instructions provided. Often, it’s a simple request for more information. If you disagree with the notice, you can contact the IRS or seek help from a tax professional.
How can I avoid an audit?
While there’s no guaranteed way to avoid an audit, you can reduce your chances by ensuring your tax return is accurate and complete. Double-check for errors, report all income, and keep detailed records and receipts to substantiate your deductions.
Can I deduct my home office expenses?
Yes, if you use part of your home exclusively and regularly for your business, you may be able to deduct home office expenses. The IRS allows for a simplified deduction method or an actual expense method, depending on which is more beneficial for you.
Can I claim a deduction for charitable contributions?
Yes, you can claim a deduction for charitable contributions if you itemize your deductions. Ensure that the charity is a qualified organization, and keep receipts or acknowledgment letters for donations. Contributions of cash or property may be deductible, subject to certain limits.
