At Strategic Tax & Consulting Services LLC, under the guidance of Salvatore Armao, a dedicated CPA and owner, we understand the fear that comes with receiving an IRS audit letter.

With our extensive experience in handling audits for both individuals and businesses, we offer trusted audit representation services.

Our team of skilled tax professionals is committed to fiercely protecting your rights. You can trust us to navigate the audit process and deliver results that bring you relief and satisfaction.

These are some of the audit notices we can assist you with:

Parallel Audits: When our clients face an IRS audit, we conduct a parallel audit using IRS procedures to identify concerns and document deductions or income. By comparing our audit with the IRS audit, we can pinpoint any misperceptions or mistakes in the tax return.

IRS Investigation: IRS auditors are trained to ask questions that uncover information about deductions and unreported income. Even a slight misstatement on your part can lead to additional difficulties. That’s why our firm strongly recommends having experienced legal representation throughout the audit process.

Effective Legal Representation: Since you have the right to legal representation during the audit process, we do not require clients to actively participate. An IRS audit is civil in nature, but if fraud or false reporting of information is suspected, it can turn into a criminal investigation. Therefore, it’s imperative to have an experienced and effective tax attorney representing you. Your tax audit attorney can appear on your behalf and answer all questions.

Disclosure of Income: If your bank deposits exceed your reported income, the IRS may question this discrepancy and assume all deposits were taxable income, leading to additional taxes. Our firm will identify potential reasons for these discrepancies, such as loans, gifts, re-deposits of cash, etc., and explain to the IRS why these differences exist. Moreover, we will advise you on how to obtain evidence to prove the deductions.

Documentation of Deductions: The IRS requires documentation, such as receipts, canceled checks, and bank statements, to support your deductions. If this documentation is no longer available, we can help you reconstruct your records or use other indirect methods to prove the legitimacy of your deductions. A disallowed deduction can result in additional taxes, penalties, and interest.

Ignoring an audit reconsideration can have severe consequences. Failure to respond to an audit notice can lead to substantial penalties from the IRS, including the denial of business expenses, imposition of significant taxes, penalties, and interest, and even the seizure of income and assets, such as wages, bank accounts, automobiles, and real property.
