What is the Definition of an Audit Reconsideration
An IRS Tax Audit Reconsideration is the process the IRS uses to reevaluate the results of a prior audit where additional tax was assessed and remains unpaid, or a tax credit was reversed.
If the taxpayer disagrees with the original determination he/she must provide information that was not previously considered during the original examination.
It is also the process the IRS uses when the taxpayer contests a Substitute for Return (SFR) determination by filing an original delinquent return.
Reasons to request an IRS Tax Audit Reconsideration:
Some reasons for an audit reconsideration request:
- The taxpayer did not appear for the audit,
- The taxpayer moved and did not receive the correspondence from the IRS,
- A taxpayer might request an audit reconsideration also if you disagree with an audit assessment from an initial tax audit of his/her return.
If the IRS prepared your Tax Return under 6020B:
The taxpayer can disagree with a tax assessment created under the authority of IRC Section 6020(b), Substitute for Return (SFR) you can also request a tax audit reconsideration.
You can also qualify if you have been denied tax credits such as EITC claimed, during prior examination.
