Tax audit representation, also known as tax audit defense, refers to a tax or legal professional who works on your behalf to address an IRS or state tax audit. Through Power of Attorney (POA), they have the legal authority to assist with your paperwork, discuss your case with the taxing authority, and attend audit meetings. Most tax audit representatives are either an enrolled agent, certified public accountant (CPA), or an attorney.
Do I Need Tax Audit Representation?
You may be wondering if hiring someone to help with your tax audit is really necessary. Although there may be some tax issues where DIY is recommended, taking on an audit by yourself is not suggested. Professional tax audit representation can not only give you peace of mind, but also provide the following benefits:
Identification of audit issues
Preparation of documentation and paperwork
Negotiation of proposed tax debt
Protection of your taxpayer rights
Tax audit representatives, like those at Tax Defense Network, will work on your behalf to find the best resolution for your case. This may include Offer in Compromise, payment plans, or filing an appeal, if needed. They will also have direct lines of contact with the taxing authority, which can help expedite time-sensitive matters. Remember, when it comes to responding to an audit letter, time is of the essence. Don’t wait. Contact Tax Defense Network today!
Tax Defense Network
“I contacted Tax Defense Network and was immediately transferred to a licensed tax attorney who explained the process and what to expect. [My representative] answered my calls and emails promptly and kept in touch to let me know of any incoming information. She never promised anything that she wasn’t confident TDN could accomplish. My tax issues have now been resolved, and I am 100% elated with the resolution. I will always be grateful for TDN.”
