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.
