If you've received a discrepancy letter or a balance due notice from the IRS, crafting a response can be straightforward. However, it’s always wise to have a tax professional review or develop any correspondence you send to the IRS.
For an audit, preparation is key. The IRS officer likely requested specific records, and a tax professional can help you gather these and advise on what to provide. For instance, if the IRS asks for your QuickBooks file, only provide data for the year in question to avoid unnecessary scrutiny.
Audits can be extremely stressful. Having a tax professional by your side can provide relief, guiding you through the entire process and ensuring you’re well-prepared for your meeting with the IRS.
