Lakewood, WA Accounting Firm | IRS Audit Representation Page

Audits take significant time away from your business, requiring you to gather mounds of records substantiating the income and expenses that are reported on your tax return and develop a comprehensive understanding of tax law.

The IRS works hard at its mission to determine the accuracy of your tax return. If you don't comply with the Auditors' wishes, the IRS will recalculate your tax and you may not like the results.

Many taxpayers decide to handle a tax audit themselves, and discover they may have been "penny wise," avoiding a representative's fee, but "pound foolish," because they received a substantial bill for a significant tax deficiency.

IRS Auditors are trained to extract more information from you than you have a legal obligation to provide. IRS Auditors know that most people fear them and do not know the tax laws. As a result, they know they can use that fear and ignorance to their advantage.

We work to represent you with the IRS so you can avoid as much of the direct communication with them as is possible. We will talk to them on your behalf, help you gather the supporting information that is needed and review it with you before presenting it to the Auditor. We will meet with the Auditor when necessary and answer their questions using our knowledge of the tax laws to not fall victim to their leading questions.
