Audit Representation
Audit Representation
Getting an audit notice from the IRS or a state agency can feel like the ground is shifting under your feet. But an audit doesn't have to mean the worst-case scenario. With the right preparation and professional representation, you can respond confidently and protect your position. RightWay Tax Relief Group stands beside you throughout the entire process reviewing what's being requested, preparing your documentation, and handling communication so nothing is left to chance.
What Happens During a Tax Audit
A tax audit is a formal review of your return by the IRS or a state agency to verify that the information reported is accurate. Audits can range from a simple correspondence request where the IRS asks for documentation by mail to a full in-person examination of your records. The IRS may question income, deductions, credits, or business expenses. How you respond and what documentation you provide directly impacts the outcome. Having professional representation ensures your responses are accurate, complete, and strategically presented.
Who Needs Audit Representation
Audit representation is for anyone who has received an audit notice whether it's an individual taxpayer, a small business owner, a self-employed professional, or someone facing a compliance-related review such as a preparer due diligence or EFIN examination. If the IRS or a state agency is asking questions about your return, you have the right to have a qualified representative handle it on your behalf. You don't have to go through this alone, and you shouldn't.

Be Prepared Not Blindsided
The biggest mistake people make during an audit is going in unprepared or worse, trying to handle it alone. Incomplete responses, missing documents, and casual answers to IRS questions can turn a routine audit into a much bigger problem. At RightWay Tax Relief Group, we make sure that doesn't happen. We review every detail of the audit notice, prepare your documentation thoroughly, and manage all communication so that your responses are accurate, organized, and on time. Whether you're dealing with a simple mail audit or a full examination, we're in your corner from the first notice to the final resolution. An audit is stressful but with the right team, it doesn't have to define your outcome.
They Walked Me Through the Entire Audit Without a Single Surprise
Carlos P.
Restaurant Owner
When I got the IRS audit letter, I panicked. I had no idea what they were looking for or what I was supposed to do. RightWay Tax Relief Group reviewed my notice, told me exactly what was needed, and handled every response. The audit closed with no additional tax owed and I never had to speak with the IRS directly. I can't thank them enough.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do first when I receive an audit notice?
Don't panic — and don't ignore it. Read the notice carefully to understand what's being requested and what deadlines apply. Then contact us immediately. We'll review the notice, explain what the IRS is looking for, and begin preparing your response. The sooner you get professional help, the better positioned you'll be.
Do I have to meet with the IRS in person during an audit?
Not necessarily. Many audits are handled entirely by mail (correspondence audits). For office or field audits that require an in-person meeting, your authorized representative can attend on your behalf in most situations — meaning you may not need to be present at all. We handle the communication and the meetings so you don't have to face the IRS directly.
What types of audits does the IRS conduct?
The IRS conducts three main types of audits. A correspondence audit is done by mail and typically focuses on one or two items on your return. An office audit requires you to bring documentation to an IRS office. A field audit is the most extensive — an IRS agent visits your home or business to review records in detail. We provide representation for all three types, as well as state-level audits and compliance reviews.
Can an audit result in me owing more money?
Yes, it's possible. If the IRS determines that income was underreported, deductions were unsupported, or credits were improperly claimed, they may assess additional taxes, penalties, and interest. That's exactly why proper documentation and professional representation matter — we work to minimize any additional liability by ensuring every legitimate deduction and credit is properly supported.
How far back can the IRS audit my tax returns?
The IRS generally has three years from the date a return was filed to initiate an audit. However, if they suspect a substantial understatement of income (25% or more), that window extends to six years. In cases of fraud or unfiled returns, there is no time limit. We review the specifics of your case to make sure the IRS is operating within its legal authority.
What happens if I disagree with the audit results?
You have the right to dispute the findings. If you don't agree with the auditor's conclusions, you can request a meeting with the auditor's supervisor, file a formal appeal with the IRS Office of Appeals, or in some cases, take the matter to Tax Court. We help you evaluate whether a dispute is worth pursuing and represent you through the appeals process if it is.
