I’m getting audited by the IRS! I just got a message in the mail saying that they are going to look back into my tax years and I need to schedule an apointement with an IRS examiner!

It this you? are you the subject of an IRS audit? Being audited by the IRS can be a stressful and uncomfortable experience. What’s worse, you are a citizen, and a tax payer, and now, suddenly you are the subject of scrutiny by the United States Government. What’s worse, is you are on an uneven playing field when you are dealing with the Internal Revenue Service. Why are you at a disadvantage?

Well, unless you are a tax expert, or a CPA, or tax attorney, then you can’t possibly know all the ins and outs of the tax code. Afterall, if there is an entire industry set up and it needs constant updating and training, how do you expect yourself to be able to adequately represnet yourself infront of an IRS auditor who does this full time?

It’s virtually impossible. You need to get real wtih yourself. One thing I would highly recommend is getting representation with your IRS audit case. Find a experienced Tax professional that can represent you. You will have to get a power of attorney, IRS tax form 2848, and that form will allow your agent to speak on your behalf.

Know knowing what to do, say or how to deal with the irs examiner can actually get you in worse trouble. Only a experienced tax audit expert will know what to say and what not to say on your behalf.

Getting notice that you are going to be audited for tax years must be taken seriously. In general, here are some of the types of IRS audits taht you may be subject to.

The IRS conducts primarily four sorts of audits:

1. The Correspondence Audit
2. The In-Office Audit
3. The Field Audit
4. The Repetitive Audit

The Correspondence Audit is conducted by mail and is the least threatening kind of audit. This sort of audit is triggered by the IRS’s computer matching program. For instance, in case you report $30,000 in earnings on your taxes return as well as the IRS receives details that your earnings were $40,000 a bill is sent to the taxpayer requesting supplemental tax owed for that unique taxes year.

The IRS frequently makes mistakes in correspondence audits so there is no reason to rely on IRS accuracy whenever you receive this type of observe. The experts at United Tax Group have the expertise to ascertain whether or not the IRS claim of supplemental tax is factual. In challenging the correspondence audit it truly is imperative that you contact your representative because the IRS only allows 30 days to respond to this type of request. Make sure you aren’t wrongfully charged.

An In-Office Audit is done in an IRS office. Normally this form of audit is limited in scope to a few items on the taxes return. When you’re targeted for this kind of audit the IRS will send notice requesting that you simply bring in supporting documentation relating to deductions claimed on your tax return. It isn’t in your greatest interests to meet with the IRS personally. So you need to find someone who can try to turn this into a correspondence audit. Stay out of the office.

The Field Audit is by far the most complete form of audit performed from the IRS. This sort of audit is conducted by a revenue officer who is commonly highly experienced in disputing deductions claimed on a taxes return. The IRS performs this sort of audit when the issues need on-site review on the taxpayer’s books and records.

The IRS can and will audit some taxpayers more than and over again. To be able to avoid this Repetitive Audit make sure you work with someone who can make sure this doesn’t happen. whenever you obtain your very first notification of audit from the IRS. It’s vital that the original audit is defended as effectively as possible minimizing the items disputed through the IRS.

So many times, people say things and provide things that get them into more trouble. No one is saying that you should mislead the IRS, but not being versed in how to deal with and correspond with the IRS can be a problem for you, when it didn’t have to be.

The IRS Audit process can be a painless and efficient one, or it can be riddled with hassles and stress. You decide. Would you perform a surgical procedure on yourself? Why try to defend yourself with the IRS if you aren’t an expert?
