IRS Tax Audit Representation FAQs
How much does help with an IRS audit cost?
The costs you pay for IRS tax audit representation depend on whether you're charged a flat fee or hourly rate. Hourly fees tend to be about $300. Flat-fee audit representation tends to range in price from $2,000-$5,000, depending on how complex your case is.
Do you need a tax attorney for an IRS tax audit?
If you have been audited and would like IRS representation, you don't necessarily need to hire a tax attorney. CPAs are fully authorized to provide taxpayers with representation during an audit. Only consider hiring a tax attorney if the IRS accuses you of fraud or tax evasion.
What are some common indicators that suggest an individual may be facing an IRS audit or examination of their tax return?
If you suspect or want to confirm whether you’re facing an IRS tax audit, here are some common signs and steps to help you understand your situation:
- ‍1. IRS notice or letter: The most direct indicator is receiving an official IRS notice or letter, such as the CP75 - Examination Letter, which states that your tax return has been selected for examination. This letter will specify the type of audit (e.g., correspondence audit, field audit) and provide instructions on how to respond.
- ‍2. CP2000 notice: You may receive a CP2000 - Notice of Proposed Adjustment, which indicates discrepancies or inconsistencies on your tax return that the IRS has identified. While not technically an audit, it could lead to further examination.
- ‍3. In-person visit or meeting: In some cases, an IRS agent may visit you in person or request a meeting at an IRS office to discuss your tax return and financial records. This typically occurs in more complex audits.
- ‍4. Requests for documentation: You might receive requests from the IRS for specific documentation or records related to your tax return. These requests may include bank statements, receipts, or other financial documents.
- ‍5. Contact from an IRS agent: You may receive phone calls or emails from an IRS agent requesting information or clarification regarding your tax return.
