Audit Representation
Receiving an audit notice from the IRS or California tax authorities can be stressful. An audit may involve questions about income, expenses, deductions, tax credits, business records, or previously filed returns. Responding incorrectly or failing to provide the requested documentation may lead to additional taxes, penalties, and interest.
Golden State Tax Relief provides professional audit representation for individuals and businesses throughout Los Angeles and surrounding Southern California communities.
Help at Every Stage of the Audit
An audit does not automatically mean that you did something wrong. Tax agencies may select returns because of reporting inconsistencies, unusual deductions, missing income, or routine review procedures.
Our team can help you:
• Review the audit notice
• Understand what the agency is requesting
• Organize supporting documents
• Communicate with the IRS or state tax agency
• Prepare for interviews or meetings
• Respond to proposed tax adjustments
• Review appeal options
When authorized, we may communicate directly with the tax agency on your behalf. This can reduce confusion and help ensure that requests are handled accurately and on time.
Types of Tax Audits
Golden State Tax Relief assists with several types of audits, including:
• IRS correspondence audits
• Office audits
• Field audits
• Business tax audits
• Self-employment income reviews
• Deduction and expense audits
• California state tax audits
Each audit requires a careful review of the taxpayer’s records and the issues identified by the agency.
Do Not Ignore an Audit Notice
Audit notices usually include strict response deadlines. Ignoring the notice may result in the agency making changes based only on the information it already has. This may increase the balance you owe and limit your ability to challenge the findings.
Golden State Tax Relief can help you understand the notice, prepare a response, and protect your rights throughout the audit process.
