The IRS conducts primarily four types
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 type of audit. This type of audit is triggered by
the IRS’s computer matching program. For example, if you report
$30,000 in earnings on your tax return and the IRS receives
information that your earnings were $40,000 a bill is sent to the
taxpayer requesting additional tax owed for that specific tax year.
The IRS often makes mistakes in correspondence audits so there is no
reason to rely on IRS accuracy when you receive this type of notice.
The professionals at United Tax Group have the expertise to
ascertain whether or not the IRS claim of additional tax is factual.
In challenging the correspondence audit it is imperative that you
contact us immediately as the IRS only allows 30 days to respond to
this type of request. We will determine the accuracy of the IRS
information and appeal their notice, thus saving you potentially
thousands of dollars in additional tax debt.
An In-Office Audit is done in an IRS office. Generally this
type of audit is limited in scope to a few items on the tax return.
When you are targeted for this type of audit the IRS will send
notice requesting that you bring in supporting documentation
relating to deductions claimed on your tax return. The professionals
at United Tax Group know that it is not in your best interests to
meet with the IRS personally. Therefore, we will request that the
IRS convert this type of audit to a correspondence audit. We also
know what type of supporting documentation the IRS will accept in
order to validate the deductions claimed on the return.
The Field Audit is by far the most complete type of audit
performed by the IRS. This type of audit is conducted by a revenue
officer who is usually highly experienced in disputing deductions
claimed on a tax return. The IRS performs this type of audit when
the issues require on-site review of the taxpayer’s books and
records. The professionals at United Tax Group know what information
is required to support your claims in order to validate the specific
deductions that have been targeted by the IRS.
The IRS can and will audit some taxpayers over and over again. In
order to avoid this Repetitive Audit it is imperative you
contact United Tax Group for representation when you receive your
first notification of audit from the IRS. It is vital that the
original audit is defended as effectively as possible minimizing the
items disputed by the IRS. In minimizing the disallowances United
Tax Group is also able to reduce the possibility of a repetitive
audit.
Contact the professionals at United Tax Group if you’ve been
approached by the IRS regarding any of these audit procedures. (877)
