How can we help with an IRS audit in San Diego? Most people have heard about a tax audit, and everyone who knows about them is aware that they are quite a challenge. The Internal Revenue Service uses the audit to leverage some financial gain out of you, and worse yet, they use the audit to imply that you are some sort of criminal. The whole point of an audit is to admonish you and make correct a mistake that you made, even though you did your best to accurately represent your tax situation.
In the same vein, the audit is meant to make you “break” quickly. The IRS wants you to give in as soon as possible and pay them what they have told you to pay. However, people who have been audited have numerous options to appeal or work out a deal in reference to their audit.
We can help with an IRS audit in many ways. There are a couple of things to remember when you get audited. First, eventually you (or better yet, we) are going to have to talk with the IRS about the audit — so don’t hide your head in the sand when you are informed about an audit. However, you need to talk with one of our tax attorneys before talking with the IRS.
You need to understand the process. It may surprise you to learn that you don’t have to speak with the IRS directly. In fact, it’s seldom in your best interest.
The second way we can help with an IRS audit in San Diego is to limit the scope of the audit and hold the IRS auditor accountable to tax laws and general accounting principles. This substantially reduces your risk and ultimately the amount you may be asked to pay as a result.
