Tax Audit Services: IRS Audit Professionals At Your Service

I’d appreciate it if you could get the upper hand on the IRS. For tax audit appeals, representation, and counsel, Lothamer has been on your side since Day 1.

Skilled IRS Audit Professional & Audit Representation

A few things send a chill of panic into your heart, like finding an audit notice from the IRS in your mail. While many of these letters are simple requests for information, such as a copy of your 1099, official IRS audits can be a panic-inducing event. To make it through an audit successfully, you need to understand what the auditor is looking for, avoid the pitfalls of divulging too much or too little information, and pass a highly trained professional’s scrutiny. The IRS examination is conducted to determine the accuracy of your tax return and supporting documentation.

Navigating the audit process requires careful handling and professional representation. Hiring experienced tax professionals can help you manage the complexities and provide proactive solutions.

Lothamer’s tax professionals and experienced IRS audit consultants have navigated hundreds of audits, successfully representing clients through audit defenses, appeals, and tax debt disputes. We conduct an exhaustive and confidential review of your financial records and all related documentation in our office before the scheduled audit date to identify any potential problem areas. It is essential to ensure all documentation and documents are correct and verified before the audit begins. Then, we manage all correspondence, respond promptly to IRS letters and notices, and meet with the IRS on your behalf, letting them know you are serious about defending your tax return.

Before you speak to or meet with an auditor, contact Lothamer Tax Resolution for expert advice and guidance.

Can you help us during a Tax Audit?

If the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is auditing you, one of the most important pieces of early advice we can offer is not to allow an auditor into your home or place of business. Auditors are trained to gather information about your lifestyle, standard of living, and other information not necessarily related to your tax return. Allowing them to profile you by surveying your property could increase the scope of your tax audit.

Hiring an experienced tax professional for legal representation is crucial during this process.

Allow Lothamer to represent you instead—we have decades of experience dealing with auditors and representing clients before the IRS. We understand the best practices for what to say and how to say it, directing the IRS’s attention only where it needs to go. We rarely have our clients meet with the IRS or attend an audit. One of the best defenses is to limit the scope of the audit, and no one knows how to do this better than Lothamer. We strongly recommend contacting us before speaking with or meeting with your auditor. We can help you compile and file all necessary paperwork, including preparing and filing amended returns or an amended return if required, as well as submitting requests for additional time or an extension of your audit appointment, ensuring these requests are submitted before the due date. In cases where records are missing, we often reconstruct the accounting records to determine the actual taxable income. It is essential to ensure all documents are properly prepared, filed, and submitted by the due date to avoid complications or penalties.

FAQs:

If you receive an IRS audit notice, IRS letter, or audit letter, it’s important not to panic and to respond promptly. Many notices are simple information requests, but official audits can be complex and require detailed analysis. Do not allow the IRS auditor into your home or business, as this can expand the scope of the audit. Instead, contact Lothamer immediately to ensure proper representation and limit the scope of the audit.

Lothamer offers expert IRS audit representation through seasoned tax professionals and consultants. They review and analyze your financial records privately before the audit, handle all communication with the IRS, and typically prevent clients from needing to attend the audit in person themselves. During the audit process, Lothamer ensures that all required documents are correctly signed and submitted. Their approach minimizes exposure and protects your rights.

Within 24–72 hours of engagement, Lothamer contacts the IRS to request a stay on collections and obtain your tax transcripts. A licensed tax professional then meets with you virtually to present a resolution plan. Once approved, they begin implementing it immediately, managing all audit interactions on your behalf. After the audit, Lothamer can help you claim a refund or assist you in paying any amount you owe, including addressing any penalties assessed by the IRS.

IRS auditors are trained to observe lifestyle and surroundings that could influence the outcome of the audit. For example, meeting them in person at your home or business can unintentionally broaden the scope and may lead to additional questions. It is also essential to ensure you are notified at the correct address to avoid missing critical correspondence. Lothamer’s professionals understand how to control the narrative and focus only on the necessary tax return elements to protect your interests.
