IRS Audit Attorney In Chicago, Illinois

IRS audit representation is a service provided by our Tax Attorneys at Benjamin Legal Services to assist individuals or businesses during an audit conducted by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). An IRS audit is an examination of a taxpayer's financial information and records to ensure compliance with tax laws and regulations.

Here's an overview of what IRS audit representation involves:

Communication with the IRS: We act as a liaison between the taxpayer and the IRS. We handle all communication with the IRS on the taxpayer's behalf, helping streamline the process and ensure that responses are timely and accurate.

Document Preparation: IRS audits typically require the submission of various documents, such as receipts, financial statements, and other relevant records. Our tax attorneys assist in gathering and organizing these documents to present a clear and complete picture of your financial situation.

Understanding Audit Issues: Our tax attorneys review the audit notice and understand the specific issues or transactions under scrutiny. This involves a comprehensive analysis of your tax return and the areas targeted for examination.

Strategizing Responses: Our tax attorneys develop a strategy for responding to the IRS's inquiries based on the identified issues. This may involve explaining our Client’s position, providing additional documentation, or presenting legal arguments when necessary.

Representation During Audits: Our tax attorneys may represent you during meetings or discussions with the IRS auditor. This representation ensures that our Client’s rights are protected and responses are presented in a manner that aligns with tax laws.

Negotiation and Resolution: If discrepancies or disagreements arise during the audit, our tax attorneys negotiate with the IRS to seek a fair resolution. This may involve reaching a settlement, agreeing on adjustments, or presenting legal arguments to support our client’s position.

Appeals, if Necessary: In cases where the audit results in unfavorable outcomes, our tax attorneys may assist our client in filing an appeal. This involves presenting your case to the IRS Appeals Office for further review.

Education and Guidance: Throughout the audit process, our tax attorneys educate our Clients on their rights and responsibilities. We provide guidance on how to navigate the audit, address concerns, and make informed decisions.

IRS audit representation is valuable for taxpayers facing the complexity of an IRS audit, as it ensures that their interests are represented and the audit process is handled professionally.
