Representación en auditorías del IRS | Protección inmediata
We provide professional audit representation for individuals and business owners, managing all IRS representation under Power of Attorney. Our team organizes supporting documentation, protects taxpayer rights under the Taxpayer Bill of Rights, and responds to tax notices on your behalf.
What This Service Does
When you hire us for IRS audit representation, we step in between you and the IRS. This is not coaching. The result is a full professional representation.
We prepare and submit IRS Form 2848, Power of Attorney and Declaration of Representative. Once the IRS processes it, we obtain legal authorization to interact with the IRS on your behalf.
From that point forward, the IRS contacts us, not you. We request your records, communicate with the examiner, manage deadlines, and control the flow of information. The IRS no longer directly questions you or exerts pressure on you.
IRS audit notices can be confusing. Some are simple document requests. Others are involved in in-person examinations.
We review the notice carefully to determine:
- The tax year under examination
- The specific items being questioned
- The type of audit can be correspondence, office, or field.
- The response deadline
This early analysis shapes the entire defense strategy.
The IRS does not just want receipts. They want specific records that meet legal standards. If documentation is incomplete or poorly organized, deductions are often denied.
We work with you to:
- Collect receipts, bank statements, mileage logs, invoices, and contracts
- Reconstruct missing records when possible
- Organize documents by issue and tax category
- Prepare written explanations that match the documentation
- Submit a structured response to the IRS examiner
We present your case clearly and professionally, rather than sending scattered paperwork that invites rejection.
IRS examiners ask follow-up questions. They may request additional documents. They may attempt to expand the audit.
We respond to all IRS contacts. We answer questions in a controlled and strategic way. We do not allow the audit to drift into unrelated areas unless legally required. Our role is to protect you from saying something that unintentionally increases your risk.
For office or field audits, we attend meetings on your behalf. In most cases, you do not need to be present.
IRS.gov explains that office audits require an in-person meeting at an IRS office, while field audits involve an IRS revenue agent visiting your home or business. These audits are more detailed and serious. We manage those interactions so you do not face the examiner alone.
If the IRS proposes additional tax, we review the findings line by line. Examiners can make mistakes. They can misapply tax law. They can miscalculate figures.
We:
- Submit written rebuttals
- Provide additional documentation
- Cite applicable Internal Revenue Code sections
- Request managerial review when appropriate
- File formal appeals with the IRS Office of Appeals
Our goal is to reduce or eliminate additional taxes whenever legally possible.
Accuracy-related penalties can be 20% of the underpayment. Other penalties may apply depending on the issue.
We prepare and submit penalty abatement requests based on reasonable cause, good faith reliance, or other IRS-recognized grounds. Removing penalties can significantly reduce your total liability.
If the audit results in a balance due, we do not leave you exposed. We help arrange:
- Acuerdos de pago a plazos
- Currently Not Collectible status
- Other IRS resolution options
Planning for both audit defense and resolution is essential.
Why This Gets Worse Without Help
An IRS audit is not neutral. It is an examination conducted by a trained government professional whose role is to verify and, when appropriate, increase tax assessments.
Here is what happens when taxpayers try to handle it on their own.
The IRS Proceeds Without You
If you do not respond, the IRS disallows the questioned deductions and issues a report. You lose the opportunity to present evidence. The proposed changes become the default position.
The Audit Can Expand
IRS examiners are trained to look for inconsistencies. A casual answer about income or expenses can lead to an expanded review.What began as a review of a single deduction can become a broader examination of your entire return, or even multiple years.
You May Provide the Wrong Documentation
IRS rules require specific types of substantiation for certain expenses. For example, vehicle deductions require detailed mileage records. Charitable contributions require written acknowledgments.If documentation does not meet IRS standards, deductions are denied.
Deadlines Can Eliminate Your Rights
IRS.gov explains that when a Notice of Deficiency is issued, you have 90 days to petition the U.S. Tax Court. If you miss that deadline, the assessment becomes final.Without representation, many taxpayers miss critical deadlines and lose appeal rights.
Audit Assessments Turn Into Collection
The IRS enters collection mode if it assesses additional tax, and it remains unpaid. According to IRS Publication 594 on IRS.gov, the IRS can file federal tax liens and issue levies on wages and bank accounts.An audit can quickly turn into a collection crisis.
Waiting rarely improves your position. Early intervention gives us the strongest chance to stop enforcement quickly and negotiate favorable terms.
How the IRS Enforces This
The IRS audit process follows formal procedures backed by federal law.
Audit Selection
IRS.gov explains that returns are selected for examination using computerized scoring systems, information matching (such as W-2 and 1099 comparisons), and related examinations tied to other taxpayers.
Audit Notice by Mail
The IRS initiates audits by mail. Common notices include:
The notice explains what is being examined and when you must respond.
Types of Audits
IRS.gov identifies three primary audit types:
Field audits are the most detailed and intrusive.
Plazo de prescripción
Under Internal Revenue Code Section 6501, the IRS generally has three years to audit a return. That period can extend to six years in cases of substantial underreporting and can remain open indefinitely for fraud or unfiled returns.
The IRS may request Form 872 to extend the assessment period. Signing that form is a strategic decision.
Notice of Deficiency
If an agreement is not reached, the IRS issues a Notice of Deficiency. This gives you 90 days to file a petition with the U.S. Tax Court.
If no petition is filed within that window, the tax is assessed and becomes legally collectible.
Collection Authority
Once assessed, the IRS can:
These powers are outlined in IRS Publication 594 on IRS.gov.
Audit defense is not optional when the stakes include federal enforcement authority.
Who This Service Is For
You need this service if:
- You received an IRS audit notice and do not understand what is being requested.
- The IRS is questioning deductions, credits, or reported income.
- You are self-employed or own a small business and face an office or field audit.
- The IRS is requesting in-person meetings, and you do not want to attend alone.
- You lack complete documentation and need help reconstructing records.
- The IRS proposed additional taxes, and you disagree.
- You received a Notice of Deficiency and need to protect your right in the Tax Court.
- You feel overwhelmed and want a professional to handle the IRS on your behalf.
If any of these apply, representation is critical.
