IRS Audit Help and Appeal – Tax Relief 101

TaxMasters – Outstanding Tax Audit Help and Tax Defense

The scenario is all too common. You open the letter from the IRS and your jaw drops. The letter is cold, impersonal, even threatening. Your tax return has been selected for an IRS audit. Even worse, the IRS can inform you that they plan to adjust your tax liability without even talking to you. There’s no two ways about it; you need tax defense.

TaxMasters is skilled at tax defense and provides outstanding tax audit help, all while making sure the IRS treats you fairly and with respect. We can even help appeal audit findings if the event has already taken place.

Seeking IRS audit help is never a comfortable process. You’re shocked at being audited in the first place and then you have to find a qualified, reliable tax defense expert to help you through the audit event. While you can technically represent yourself in an IRS audit, we strongly encourage you to hire experienced IRS audit help. Taking on the IRS without audit defense is like going to trial without a lawyer. And it’s most always better to attack the initial audit instead of waiting for the chance to appeal the audit.

If you have a letter from the IRS informing you that you have been targeted for an audit or that the IRS has adjusted your tax liability, you need audit help. The good news is that tax defense is only a call away.

How the IRS Does it

The IRS preys on our sense of civility to manipulate us into giving away too much information before and during tax audits. They push in order to get a reaction, make insinuations to raise your fear level, and dig up even unrelated facts and information you do not have to provide. If you receive a notice indicating that you are the subject of an IRS tax audit, the most important thing you can do is to resist the urge to immediately call or otherwise respond to the IRS agent. Instead, call us immediately. We may be the only thing standing between you and irreversible tax penalties. TaxMasters gets incredible audit results providing IRS audit help and audit appeal services to clients in need of tax defense. The tax audit department at TaxMasters has a fantastic record. We are here to help you put the audit you are facing behind you.

A Word about Tax Audit Insurance

Tax audit insurance comes in many forms. Most tax preparation firms offer varying levels of audit insurance and self-prep software tools tend to offer audit insurance packages, as well. Be wary of these offerings. In many cases, “tax audit insurance” is defined as advice about which forms to fill out to respond to an IRS audit notice. These so-called insurance products tend not to offer much in the way of real tax audit help and provide no meaningful tax defense period. Companies who sell the $20 tax audit defense packages won’t be able to provide effective IRS tax relief should you actually be selected for a tax audit.

Call TaxMasters today if you have received notification that you are subject to a tax audit or tax adjustment. One of the worst things you can do is to try and represent yourself in this circumstance. And if you used a tax CPA who didn’t forewarn you that you were likely to be selected for an audit, you should find a more qualified representative to handle your audit defense. Take a deep breath, there’s a way out of this. Just call us.

Tax Representation – Bringing Tax Relief One Audit at a Time

We are IRS audit help experts. At TaxMasters, we handle more tax audits and audit appeals in a week than most tax CPAs handle in their entire career. We can defend your interests in a typical IRS audit, in responding to audit letters, and even in preparing lawful tax defenses for fraud audits and criminal investigations.

We strongly encourage anyone facing an IRS audit to seek tax representation from TaxMasters. Representing yourself in a tax audit can lead to even larger tax penalties than you started with. Great reasons to engage TaxMasters for IRS audit help include:

• You don't have to be present at the audit to win. If you are not present for the audit, the IRS agent does not have the unencumbered opportunity to question you concerning minute details from a return you barely remember filing, typically about matters that are beyond the scope of the audit you were targeted for. Tax agents try to explore other areas and can imply threats of bigger problems, additional tax penalties, and incriminations if you don't cooperate. To avoid this kind of IRS harassment, we strongly advise our clients to stay away during an IRS audit and let us handle it.

• You're not a tax lawyer, you're at a disadvantage. If you represent yourself in a tax audit, the IRS auditors assume that you know the tax laws and regulations as well as a tax lawyer. They also assume you know the Internal Revenue Manual (IRM) and the tax code. Their reasoning is that if you don't know the tax laws and the IRM, you will hire a tax lawyer or make sure that an enrolled agent is present at your audit. It is an IRS agent's job to act in the best interest of the US Government. Tax agents are not civil servants. If anything, they are like a prosecuting attorney. Electing to represent yourself in an IRS audit is very similar to representing yourself in a criminal case. In both instances, you are the only one who doesn't know all the rules. And knowing the rules is more than half the battle.
