IRS Civil Tax Audits

The Internal Revenue Service is perhaps best known – if not outright feared – for conducting audits of taxpayers. The purpose of an IRS audit is to verify that income, information, expenses and deductions were properly reported to the IRS on the taxpayer’s tax return. The tax being examined may be income, employment, excise, use, estate or gift tax. The audit can result in the IRS assessing additional taxes, interest and penalties. In some cases, the audit can result in no change to the taxpayer’s reporting whatsoever, or in the taxpayer receiving a refund of overpaid taxes.

Undergoing an IRS audit can be a very stressful time for the taxpayer. By retaining a tax audit attorney experienced in working and negotiating with the IRS, you retain a partner who manages the stress of dealing with the IRS for you, protects your rights and your interests and aggressively defends your reporting positions.
