Why you shouldn't face an audit alone

An audit requires you to gather records that support every item on your return, and to understand the tax law well enough to explain why each was correct. Taxpayers who represent themselves often provide too little, or too much, and agree to changes they don't have to accept.

A representation succeeds when every request in the audit notice is answered completely. At GPT, we arrange the complete documentation and present your case properly before the IRS.

Types of audits we handle

Correspondence audits

The most common kind. The IRS asks by mail for documents supporting specific items. We prepare a complete, organized response.

Office audits

You're asked to attend an interview at an IRS office. We prepare you, or attend on your behalf where permitted.

Field audits

An IRS agent visits your home or business, usually for business returns. We manage the process and the agent's requests.

State audits

State tax departments run their own examinations. We handle those too.

What's included

Review of the audit notice and your return to assess the issues and your exposure
An IRS power of attorney (Form 2848) so we can speak with the IRS for you
Collecting and organizing the documentation that supports your return
Written responses and explanations, submitted on time
All communication with the auditor
Review of the audit findings, and an appeal if you disagree

How it works

Forward the notice. Send us a copy of the audit letter as soon as it arrives. Deadlines are short.
Assessment call. We explain what the IRS is questioning and what we'll need from you.
We take over. With your authorization, the IRS contacts us, not you.
Resolution. We work toward the best possible outcome and explain the result.

Don't ignore an audit letter. If you don't respond by the deadline, the IRS can finalize the changes it proposed. Contact us even if the deadline is close. We may be able to request more time.

Frequently asked questions

You didn't prepare the return being audited. Can you still help?

Yes. We represent taxpayers regardless of who prepared the original return.

How do I know the letter is really from the IRS?

The IRS starts audits by mail, never by phone call, text or email. If you're unsure, send it to us and we'll verify it before you respond.

What if I don't have all my receipts?

Other records, such as bank and card statements, calendars and emails, can often support an item. We'll help you rebuild the documentation.
