Tax Audits
Facing a Tax Audit? You Don’t Have to Do It Alone.
An IRS audit can feel intimidating — and with good reason. According to the IRS, an audit is “a review or examination of an organization’s or individual’s accounts and financial information to ensure information is reported correctly according to the tax laws and to verify the reported amount of tax is correct.” But behind that definition lies a complex system governed by rules most taxpayers don’t fully understand and where small missteps can have big consequences.
While the IRS uses internal formulas and algorithms to determine who gets audited, what matters most is how you respond once you’ve been flagged. Do you know your rights? Are you familiar with the “rules of play” and the “rules of delay”? And more importantly, do you have someone on your side who does? Our tax planning and representation services ensure you’re prepared and protected.
Strategic, Informed Representation
With degrees in history and politics from top institutions including Berkeley, Oxford, and the University of Chicago, I bring a research-driven approach to tax defense. I also grew up immersed in the legal world and have argued cases all the way to the doors of tax court. That means I understand not only the letter of the law but how to navigate the audit process in a way that protects your interests.
Whether you’re facing a full audit, correspondence audit, or field examination, I offer representation that’s not only more cost-effective than a traditional tax attorney — it’s also tailored, strategic, and personal. I don’t just react to what the IRS throws your way; I anticipate it.
More Than Just Audit Defense
Many taxpayers accept audit findings but still struggle with the consequences, from unexpected balances due to aggressive collection actions. I can help resolve lingering issues through installment agreements, offers in compromise, penalty abatement requests, or other remedies available under IRS rules. You have more options than you might think, and I can help you explore them.
If you’re facing an audit or dealing with the aftermath of one, get in touch to find out how a deeper understanding of the system — and an advocate who knows how to work within it — can make all the difference.
