IRS Audit Representation

At Franskoviak Tax Solutions we provide trusted, effective IRS audit representation. Our experienced tax professionals help clients resolve audits swiftly, reduce stress, and avoid costly mistakes. If you've received an IRS audit letter, don’t panic — we’re here to protect your rights, communicate with the IRS, and work toward the best outcome possible. 

Understanding IRS Audits 

An IRS audit is a review of your tax return to verify that your income, deductions, and credits are accurate. There are different types of audits, including correspondence audits (by mail), office audits (at an IRS office), and field audits (in-person at your home or business). Regardless of the method, audits can lead to unexpected tax bills, penalties, or even legal consequences if not handled correctly. 

Audits often start due to discrepancies in reported income, high deduction claims, or random selection. The IRS compares your return with data from banks, employers, and third parties. If something doesn't add up, they'll take a closer look. If you’ve received an audit notice, time is critical. Acting fast can make a significant difference in the result. 

Why You Need Professional Representation 

Attempting to handle an audit on your own can lead to missteps. One wrong answer or missing document can increase your liability. That’s where we come in. 

We speak directly to the IRS on your behalf. You won’t need to take any phone calls or attend any meetings alone. Our team understands tax law, audit procedures, and how to negotiate with IRS agents. We’ll review your case, prepare accurate documentation, and push back if the IRS makes errors or oversteps. 

Our goal is to protect your rights, minimize penalties, and resolve the audit efficiently. Whether you're facing an audit as an individual, small business owner, or self-employed professional, we create a defense tailored to your specific situation. 

Common IRS Audit Triggers 

Knowing what triggers audits can help you avoid problems in the future. We often see audits triggered by: 

  • Unreported income from freelance work, side jobs, or investments. 

  • Excessive deductions, especially for home offices, travel, or charitable contributions. 

  • Claims of large business losses over several years. 

  • Mistakes in reported numbers, including typos or mismatches with IRS records. 

  • High income levels, which attract more scrutiny. 

  • Cryptocurrency transactions that aren’t properly disclosed. 

Our team will review your past returns to identify any red flags. If needed, we’ll amend errors before the IRS does — giving you control of the situation. 

The Audit Process – What to Expect 

Once you receive a notice, we step in immediately. The process typically involves: 

  1. Initial Consultation – We examine the IRS notice, your tax returns, and supporting documents. 

  1. Audit Strategy – We build a plan to respond effectively. This includes reviewing receipts, financial statements, bank records, and other documentation. 

  1. Representation – We communicate with the IRS directly. You won’t speak to an agent unless absolutely necessary. 

  1. Negotiation – If additional taxes are assessed, we work to lower or eliminate penalties and propose settlement options like Offer in Compromise or installment agreements. 

  1. Resolution – We ensure the case is closed properly and future compliance steps are clear. 

Our clients often avoid penalties entirely or see dramatic reductions thanks to our strategic approach and tax code knowledge. 

Real Example: A Small Business Audit 

A client came to us after receiving an audit notice for their small construction business. The IRS claimed over $45,000 in unreported income. We examined their books and bank records and found a bookkeeping error — several deposits had been counted twice. 

We organized the documents, prepared a clear explanation, and presented it to the IRS. The result? The IRS dropped the additional tax and penalties entirely. The client owed nothing and avoided years of repayment stress. 

Post-Audit Support 

After the audit ends, we don’t just walk away. We help you understand what triggered the audit and how to avoid it in the future. If you owe taxes, we’ll set up manageable payment plans or explore reduction options. If your return was accurate and the audit closed with no changes, we make sure the IRS reflects that in writing. 

We also offer long-term audit protection services, so you’re never unprepared again.
