Internal Revenue Service Audits
First, don’t panic! Second, call us.
Yes, some returns are audited because they have raised a red flag. But most audits are the result of a statistical formula that randomly selects returns to verify their accuracy. An audit is not an accusation of wrongdoing, so relax! At least, take a deep breath.
Our accountants will sit down with you to go over your federal tax return and assist you in preparing for the audit. If all goes well, the IRS will determine that your return is correct and your ordeal is over. Otherwise, the IRS will identify a change in your return. If you accept the change, you pay any additional taxes or penalties. Or you can appeal the decision. Either way, we’ll stand by you through the process.
