What is an IRS Tax Audit?

Taxpayers around the nation are now terrified of getting audited by the Internal Revenue Service – for very good reasons. After all, the IRS makes every effort to confirm all the numbers and detailed sums that you’ve put on your tax returns. Just about every man and woman can easily become confused when it comes to an invasive IRS tax audit. Most individuals are unsure of what exactly an audit is and what it may involve.

An audit is defined as an “official examination and verification of accounts and records, especially of financial accounts.” But there’s much more to it than that. Fortunately, JG Associates provides all the tax help you need. We even outlined some crucial details about the actual IRS process for your consideration.

Three types of IRS auditing methods

• Correspondence – Mail-away audit
• Office Audit – You're asked to appear at an IRS office
• Field Audit – The IRS auditor(s) make announced or surprise visits to you

Why Should You Call a Professional?

IRS audit agents are extremely experienced in interrogating taxpayers who lack audit defense certificates. They are considered the hardheaded “detectives” of the IRS. What starts out with a modest IRS audit letter or a simple phone call asking you to discuss something small can turn into a dreaded summon. Answering a few questions can quickly get you into trouble if you lack legal representation.

Usually, the agents position individuals in their tiny cubicles for what many people describe as an “interrogation.” Some IRS agents will begin speaking to you in a nice, warm manner. Without fail, he or she will then become deliberately aggressive and scrutinize your tax returns and other documents. In most cases, they have you believe you are being questioned about deductions for one tax year. But then they widen the scope of the audit and start fishing for information pertaining to other years. You’ll get in ‘over your head’ and find yourself in a dizzying nightmare with very real ramifications.

In 98% of all IRS audit cases, led checks, deposits, receipts, driving logs, utility bills and home office expenses. Most taxpayers are willing to send the agent everything. But this is exactly when you need experienced legal representation, like JG Tax Associates offers. Let a tax relief expert review all the necessary documents before you ever send them anything. The IRS is only entitled to certain information. If you send in all the documents they’ve asked for, it can hurt you in the long run.

In some cases, an IRS agent may ask to visit you at your home. This may seem like an easier, more friendly and convenient approach. Nevertheless, remember that their motives are to obtain as much information about you as possible. They are simply trying to quantify what assets you have inside and outside your house. If you claimed to only make $20,000 a year, but are living in a mansion on the beach, the IRS will question the income on your tax returns. Ultimately, you don’t want an IRS agent at your residence, even if you’re confident that you have nothing to hide.

Rely on Tax Professionals to Handle Your Audit

Unless you are an IRS attorney, there are several reasons why you should never handle an IRS audit on your own. You must understand that the IRS always has an exceptionally unfair advantage, since the average person lacks adequate knowledge of laws for a suitable tax audit defense. We’ve included a prime example of an actual client JG Tax Associates represented where the IRS agent took complete advantage of the taxpayer’s situation and unfamiliarity with tax laws and federal procedures. As you may see in this Audit letter that we sent to the IRS agent, we took the initiative and confronted the agent about multiple mistakes he had made regarding our client’s IRS tax audit.
