Tax Audits & Representation

Tax Audit Defense & IRS Representation in Contra Costa County.

An audit is stressful. It's also negotiable. As authorized representatives, we handle every conversation with the auditor so you can keep running your life and your business while we defend the return.

Who this is for

  • Individuals selected for an IRS or FTB correspondence, office, or field audit
  • Businesses facing payroll, sales-tax (CDTFA), or worker-classification audits
  • Clients whose original preparer isn't equipped to represent them
  • Anyone who received a Form 4564 IDR (Information Document Request)

What's included

  • Power of Attorney (Form 2848) so we speak with the auditor, not you
  • Full return and transcript review before the first meeting
  • Preparation and organization of every document requested
  • In-person, phone, or virtual audit representation
  • Appeals conference representation if the initial finding is wrong
  • Negotiation of settlements, installment agreements, or offers in compromise
