IRS & State Tax Audit Representation
Received an audit or examination letter from the IRS or your state? You don’t have to face it alone. Aracely, an Enrolled Agent (EA), represents you from the first letter through the final result.
Who audit representation is for
Individuals, self-employed people, and small businesses who have received an audit or examination letter from the IRS or from their state. Audits come in different forms:
Office audits
You are asked to meet with an examiner at a tax office and bring records for the items under review.
Field audits
An examiner reviews your records in person, often at your home or business, usually for more complex returns.
How Aracely helps
From the first letter to the final result, you have an experienced representative in your corner.
1
Review the notice
We read the audit or exam letter with you and identify exactly which years and items are being questioned, what is being requested, and the deadlines.
2
Gather and organize your documentation
We help you collect and organize receipts, statements, and records so they clearly support the items on your return.
3
Speak for you, with power of attorney
With your signed power of attorney (IRS Form 2848), Aracely communicates with the IRS on your behalf, so you don’t have to face the examiner alone.
4
Handle the audit
She responds to the examiner’s requests, presents your records, and attends or handles the audit meetings and calls.
5
Explain the results and your options
We explain the examiner’s findings in plain language. If you disagree, we discuss your options, including requesting an appeal.
6
Plan what comes next
If a balance is owed, we can help you explore IRS resolution options such as a payment plan; either way, we make sure you know what to expect next.
