Tax Audits

An IRS tax audit is an examination of your tax return to determine if it is accurate. The IRS can audit you for any year’s taxes, and tax audits can occur within three years of filing the return.

Suppose the IRS believes you have underreported your income, overstated your deductions, or made other errors on your tax return. In that case, they will send you a notice informing you that you are being audited. The notice will specify which items on your return are being questioned and why.

After that, you will be required to present proof of your return information. This may include bank statements, receipts, invoices, or other records. After reviewing your supporting evidence, the IRS will decide whether you incur additional taxes.

The IRS will issue you a charge for the outstanding amount if they discover that you owe more taxes. You will also be liable for interest and penalties on unpaid taxes. You can pay the amount and continue your life if you concur with the IRS’s conclusions.

However, you can appeal if you think you don’t owe the taxes. It’s critical to have an accomplished tax accountant on your side because the appeals procedure can be difficult. Alex Gurovich has represented taxpayers in IRS audits and can help you navigate the appeals process.
