Handle IRS Audits with Experienced Help

tax documents with an audit stamp An IRS audit is an assessment of your tax account to ensure everything is included and factually presented. It examines your tax returns and financial documents to check for compliance with tax laws.

You can get audited by the IRS in three ways:

Correspondence Audit - This is the most common audit. The IRS sends a letter to request more information about your tax returns. When receiving this correspondence, you will need to review your tax returns and make any necessary corrections, then submit the relevant financial documentation by mail. During an audit, you may pay more in taxes or receive a tax refund. That's why we recommend that you store all of your financial documents meticulously.
Field Audit - This audit involves an in-person visit from an IRS agent to your office. They do so to ensure that the information you've provided in your documentation matches the facts on the ground. During this visit, IRS agents may interview your employees about their working conditions and pay.
Office Audit - If the IRS needed more information regarding your tax returns, you would be invited to their nearest office location. It usually takes one visit if you have all the required documents. However, you are also allowed to bring more information if the need arises.

Expert Assistance with Back Taxes to Settle Your IRS Debt

If you owe back taxes, there is more than one way we can help you. Our experts will listen to you, understand your situation, and help you settle your debt with the IRS in one of the following ways:

Offer in Compromise - If you are qualified for OIC, as an individual or a business, we can help you negotiate a deal with the IRS that may settle your tax debt at a much lower amount. Before you apply, we'll calculate your reasonable collection potential (RCP), in other words, we will set your expectations by helping you determine the highest amount you can reasonably afford to pay.

Payment Plans - We can help you develop an IRS installment agreement, enabling you to pay off your tax debt over a specific time frame. Payment plans are an effective tax resolution channel. When you start a payment plan with the IRS, your annual installment agreement statement will be sent to you every year.

Can You Help Me Get a Levy Released?

A levy is the legal seizure of your property to settle for your tax debt. Our experts will support you in requesting a levy release. It is important to understand that releasing the levy will not exempt you from paying the balance due. If you don't arrange with the IRS to resolve your tax debt, a levy may be reissued.

Resolving IRS Tax Liens

A lien involves a legal claim on your assets to pay your tax debt. The IRS may seize your income to settle any taxes you owe. If you fail to pay your taxes, the IRS has the legal right to seize your assets. The lien remains as a permanent record in your credit report. However, there are three ways we can help you release your tax liens:

Proving Malpractice on the IRS Side: If you can prove malpractice by the IRS, the tax body will have to release your tax lien.
Monthly Garnishments: A series of payments that are automatically withdrawn from your bank using direct debit.
Expiration of Lien: If the IRS fails to resolve your tax debt within the deadline, the lien expires.

Payroll Tax Protection
