Tax Law FAQ |
Why are you being audited? The IRS or state auditor may have spotted a deduction that seemed questionable or they may think you have unreported income because you put more money in your bank account than you earned. Whatever the reason, our law firm will explain the audit process and represent you.
- Parallel audits: When a client faces an IRS audit, our law firm will have a former IRS agent do a parallel audit. By doing an audit using IRS procedures, we can determine what is causing concern in your tax return and quickly document the deduction or income. We can also compare our audit with the IRS audit to find their misperceptions and mistakes.
- IRS investigation: Internal Revenue Service auditors are trained to ask questions that will elicit more information about deductions and unreported income. Even a slight misstatement on your part can mean additional difficulties. That is why our tax audit law firm recommends that taxpayers have experienced legal representation at all times in the audit process.
- Effective legal representation: Our law firm does not allow our clients to appear at an audit. Your Michigan tax audit attorney can appear in your place and answer all questions. We know the tax laws thoroughly and we know your rights. We will answer only those questions and turn over only those documents that are legally required.
- Documenting deductions: The IRS will look for deductions that cannot be documented. We can help you reconstruct your records or use other methods to demonstrate your deductions are legitimate. A disallowed deduction can result in additional taxes plus penalties and interests.
- Reporting income: If your bank deposits exceeded your reported income, the IRS may question the discrepancy. They will assume all deposits were taxable income and then assess you additional taxes. We can assist you in explaining the discrepancy.
If you do not respond to an audit notice, you could face a summary assessment of substantial taxes, penalties, and interest followed by the seizure of income and assets including wages, bank accounts, automobiles and real property.
