What is an IRS Audit?

Taxes, they’re part of life for everyone. You turn in your taxes each year, filling out the forms to the best of your knowledge. At Total Tax Solutions, we know that when you’re facing an IRS audit, things can be a little confusing. You might have some major questions about your taxes. What is an IRS audit? How long will it take to resolve my tax problems? At Total Tax Solutions, our knowledgeable CPAs and tax professionals are here to answer these and many other taxing questions.
At its core, an IRS audit is an examination of your tax return or returns. In reality, an IRS audit is a very frightening and often stressful situation. At Total Tax Solutions, we know that working through an audit can be difficult. But, our CPAs and tax professionals are here to help.

Typically, IRS audits are performed by mail or in-person, with in-person being the most common type. An auditor is assigned by the IRS to inspect your tax return further by seeking more paperwork, conducting interviews and investigating the tax return.

Our team at Total Tax Solutions can help defend your best interests during an IRS tax audit. We understand how to help our clients safely navigate the often tricky waters of IRS audits. We’ll work for your best outcomes.

How long will it take to resolve my tax problems?

Let’s face it, the IRS isn’t exactly known for their speedy service. At Total Tax Solutions, we know that the IRS often likes to drag their feet during the auditing process. But, not to worry. We can help make sure your audit moves as quickly as possible. After all, nobody wants to belabor their interactions with the IRS.

At Total Tax Solutions, we fight for the best possible outcomes for your IRS audit. There are three main outcomes:

• Return is Accurate- no further changes necessary
• Return is Inaccurate- more must be paid

Proving your return is accurate can be a challenge when you don’t have an understanding of the IRS and its policies.
