If you weren’t properly notified of a pending audit, or if you have new information to present in defense of your return, or you disagree with the findings of an audit you may be eligible for audit reconsideration.

If you have reason to believe that the IRS should reconsider the findings of your audit, you should speak with a tax professional to preserve your rights.

Is Everyone Entitled To Audit Reconsideration?

There are some instances where a taxpayer isn't eligible for audit reconsideration. If you’ve already paid the taxes due in full, you need to file an amended return or a claim for refund. Certain payment agreements and Offers in Compromise eliminate your option of audit reconsideration. Finally, if the U. S. Tax Court or other court of competent jurisdiction has made a final determination, audit reconsideration is off the table.
