Tax Attorney for IRS Audit Defense
An audit is the IRS's opportunity to increase your tax bill. Representation prevents scope creep and protects your rights.
When you attend an IRS audit yourself, you're nervous. You talk too much. You volunteer information the examiner didn't ask for. You agree to expand the scope because you don't know you can say no. The IRS counts on this.
With a Power of Attorney on file, you don't attend. Your representative handles everything. The examiner asks specific questions, gets specific answers, and the audit stays on track. If the examiner pushes for an unreasonable expansion, your representative pushes back — legally and effectively.
When an Attorney Is Better Than a CPA
For simple documentation audits — the IRS wants receipts for your charitable deductions — a CPA is fine. For audits involving legal interpretation, potential fraud referrals, or unreported income, an attorney is essential. The attorney-client privilege protects your communications, and the attorney can navigate legal arguments that an accountant isn't trained to make.
