IRS TAX AUDIT REPRESENTATION DR PHILLIPS

Cash-heavy and tip-heavy businesses, like many along Restaurant Row, may worry about what an audit will mean. So may professionals in Bay Hill with investments or business income. Any taxpayer can receive an audit letter, and the best response starts with preparation.

Do you have to meet with the IRS yourself?

Not necessarily. With a signed Form 2848, an authorized representative can generally deal with the IRS on your behalf. That means we can handle much of the communication while you keep working.

How we prepare

• Review the audit letter to see which items and years are involved
• Compare the return with your records
• Organize the support for income and deductions
• Prepare a clear response and meet the deadline

When the audit ends

The IRS may accept your return, propose changes or find that you are owed money. If you disagree with a proposed change, you generally have appeal rights, and we can explain them. If you end up owing more, we can also help you consider ways to pay.
