“A qualified tax attorney can attend the audit for you, work to limit the scope of the exam, and use the law and facts to successfully advocate and defend your position.”

Are There Different Types of Tax Audits?
There are four different types of exams conducted by the IRS. Of the four, correspondence audits are the most common and account for up to nearly 75% of exams. Typically a correspondence exam is conducted via mail and is seeking information or to clarify some aspect of your return. Correspondence exams are usually very limited in scope.
Field and Office audits are more serious. These types of audits also ask for information or clarification about your return, but the IRS takes it a step further. During a field or office audit the agency representative will investigate your lifestyle, income, and business activities to see if they support the accuracy of your filed return.
