Audit Defense

San Francisco tax lawyers get involved at various stages of the audit process. Many clients come to us right upon getting notified about an audit by the IRS. Others start the IRS audit on their own or with their accountant, and turn to our tax lawyers when they feel that the audit process is starting to overwhelm them. Often, we are asked to step into the audit once the IRS has made an unfavorable adjustment to the taxpayer's tax liability.

Our approach towards audits is grounded in extensive preparation and process management. Although, our tax lawyers have succeeded starting from every stage of the IRS audit process, it’s proven fact that the best results are achieved when the client brings tax attorneys into the audit as early as possible.

However, sometimes taxpayers do not address tax attorney in time and get stuck with a large, but erroneous tax bill. In these situations another remedy is available. Audit reconsideration is a process whereby we petition the IRS to reopen an old audit in order to lower the tax assessment.

We have achieved significant success in reopening and overturning inaccurate IRS audit assessments.

San Francisco Tax Attorneys represent taxpayers in audits before the IRS, Franchise Tax Board, Employment Development Department and State Board of Equalization.
