IRS Audit Representation Attorneys
Receiving an IRS audit notice triggers an immediate question: do you respond yourself, or do you get representation? For the vast majority of taxpayers, attempting to navigate an IRS audit without an attorney is a risk with consequences that far exceed the cost of professional representation.

Types of Audits We Handle
Correspondence Audits
Conducted entirely by mail, correspondence audits typically target a specific line item on your return — a deduction, a credit, or reported income. While these appear routine, responding imprecisely can expand the scope of IRS scrutiny. We draft and submit all responses, supported by the appropriate documentation, to close the audit as efficiently as possible.
Office Audits
Payroll tax noncompliance exposes business owners to the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty — a personal liability that cannot be discharged in bankruptcy. We represent business owners and officers through employment tax audits, structuring responses that protect against personal assessment wherever possible.
Field Audits

While these appear routine, responding imprecisely can expand the scope of IRS scrutiny.

Employment Tax & Payroll Audits
Payroll tax noncompliance exposes business owners to the Trust Fund Recovery Penalty — a personal liability that cannot be discharged in bankruptcy. We represent business owners and officers through employment tax audits, structuring responses that protect against personal assessment wherever possible.
What Happens After an Audit
If the IRS determines that you owe additional tax, you have the right to appeal. The IRS Independent Office of Appeals operates separately from the examination function and often reaches more favorable outcomes. If appeals do not resolve the dispute, we can represent you in United States Tax Court — one of the few judicial forums where taxpayers can dispute IRS assessments before paying them.
