When the IRS issues a summons calling you in for an audit, your only option is to comply. Because the summons is both intimidating and enormously time-consuming, it is a job better left to a representative. An audit can potentially result in substantial penalties and interest, another reason why the process should be handled by someone who understands that IRS auditors are trained to extract more information than you are required to provide.

Our first recommendation is that you do not speak or meet with an IRS auditor. When you engage an independent attorney to handle all correspondence and meetings with the IRS, it sends a message that you are serious about refuting any charges.

Because the preparation for an IRS audit appointment is crucial, McCauley Law Offices will actually perform an audit of your records before the scheduled audit date. The process will uncover any inadequate documentation before the IRS has a chance to discover it.

Although IRS audits usually target one specific year and then expand to additional years as the auditors make changes, our goal is to prevent that possibility by stopping the auditors in their tracks. By limiting the audit to just one year, we also eliminate the potential for additional charges.

Our meetings with the IRS take place either in our office or theirs–never in your home or office. You are free to carry on with your business and personal life without the time-consuming and stressful burden of taking on the audit process by yourself.
