How we work your case to immediately resolve your IRS matter: (IRS Tax Resolution Service)
1. We immediately send a power of attorney to the IRS letting them know we are now your representative. You will never have to speak them.
2. We will make sure your tax returns are filed and current. If your tax returns are not up to date, the IRS will refuse to work your case. This is leverage that the IRS uses to get you compliant. We can pull tax transcripts, file and prepare your tax returns within days.
3. The IRS requires a current financial statement. We will secure a required 433-F (IRS financial statement), verify your income and expenses and work out a settlement agreement. The IRS will require a closing settlement method for each case.
4. Settlement agreements can be in different forms:
a. Hardship Settlements. Cases usually go into a 3 year suspended status because of an inability to pay. This is also called currently noncollectable. Your case will go into a hardship status because you do not have the income coming in to meet your current expenses. The IRS will use the National Standards Program to assess hardship.
b. Payment Agreements. Cases can be closed with agreed upon monthly installment payments to the IRS. We will review the different programs IRS uses for the lowest possible amount required.
c. Offer in Compromise. There are three types of Offers:
1. Doubt as to Collectibility – Doubt exists that the taxpayer could ever pay the full amount of tax liability owed within the remainder of the statutory period for collection.
2. Doubt as to Liability – A legitimate doubt exists that the assessed tax liability is correct.
3. Effective Tax Administration – There is no doubt that the tax is correct and there is potential to collect the full amount of the tax owed, but an exceptional circumstance exists.

Why was my return selected for audit?
When returns are filed, they are compared against “norms” for similar returns. The “norms” are developed from audits of a statistically valid random sample of returns.
These returns are selected as part of the National Research Program which the IRS conducts to update return selection information.
The return is next reviewed by an experienced auditor. At this point, the return may be accepted as filed, or if based on the auditor’s experience questionable items are noted, the agent will identify the items noted and the return is forwarded for assignment to an examining group.
Upon assignment to a group, the return is reviewed by the manager. Items considered in assigning a case are: factors particular to the area such as issues pertaining to construction, farming, timber industry, etc. that have specific factors and rules that apply. Based on the review, the manager can accept the return or assign the return to an auditor. The assigned auditor again reviews the return for questionable items and either accepts it as filed or contacts the taxpayer to schedule an appointment.
Where will the IRS audit be held?
It depends on the type of audit being conducted.
Audits by Mail/Correspondence Audit: Some audits are conducted entirely by mail. If the audit is conducted by mail, you will receive a letter from the IRS asking for additional information about certain items shown on the tax return such as income, expenses and itemized deductions.
In-Person Audits are audits conducted either at a local IRS office or at your business location.
Can you request the audit be conducted at the IRS office instead of at your place of business?
If the audit has been scheduled to be conducted at your location, it will generally be conducted where the books and records are located. Requests to transfer the audit to another location, including an IRS office, will be considered but may not be granted. Treasury Regulation 301.7605-1(e), Time and place of audit, discusses the items considered when a request for a change in location is made.
Can the audit be transferred to another IRS office?
You can request a transfer of an audit if you have moved. Several factors will be considered such as your current location, the location of the business and where the books and records are maintained.
If the audit is by correspondence, you can request a face-to-face audit because the books and records may be too voluminous to mail.
