Understanding IRS Tax Audit Representation Defense

Audits are a meticulous examination of financial accounts to ensure information is reported accurately per tax laws. Most often, you may encounter the IRS simply requesting additional information by mail, which happens in about 70% of tax audits. However, when an audit becomes more than just sending additional information, it turns into a complex maze of tax rules.

Here’s where an IRS tax audit representation defense comes into play, providing taxpayers with the necessary support to handle both simple mail inquiries and the intricacies of in-person negotiations with IRS agents. With the support of Silver Tax Group, you gain an ally who understands the ins and outs of the audit process. We provide the guidance needed to prepare your documents, formulate your defense strategy, and communicate effectively with the IRS on your behalf.

What is IRS Tax Audit Representation?

Imagine walking into an audit with a seasoned tax professional from Silver Tax Group by your side. Tax audit representation is a service where a tax or legal professional represents you during an IRS or state income tax audit. Your audit representative is your strategist, document preparer, negotiator, and communicator — all in one. Whether you’re represented by an attorney, a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), or an Enrolled Agent from our team, these authorized representatives are veterans of tax proceedings, have mastered the IRS system, and are well-versed in defending your position.

Why is Audit Representation Important?

Now, you might be curious, why not just tackle an audit on your own? Audit representation is your shield — essential for safeguarding your rights and ensuring a favorable audit outcome. With our professional presence, your rights under the Taxpayer Bill of Rights, such as the right to representation and to challenge IRS decisions, are not merely theoretical but are actively protected.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an IRS Tax Audit Representative

When selecting the right audit representative, look for a proven track record — someone who has previously taken cases like yours. Certifications matter; ensure they’re appropriately licensed to practice, as this confirms their qualification to handle your case with the required experience.

Choosing a Tax Attorney could be an important factor if there are facts and circumstances you are concerned with that could lead to a criminal investigation as a result of the IRS tax audit.  The Tax Attorney and you will have an Attorney Client Privilege which is paramount of importance if there is a chance your underlying returns could have any criminal tax fraud implications.

Transparency is key in understanding the cost of services, which can vary based on experience and location. Lastly, the representative’s reputation for effective communication and efficiently navigating IRS procedures can be the deciding factor for a smooth audit process.
