IRS Audit Help

Receiving an audit notice from the IRS can be alarming. Understanding what the process involves — and how to respond — makes all the difference.

Warning Signs

  • You received an IRS audit letter or CP2000 notice
  • The IRS is questioning deductions or income on your return
  • You have been selected for a correspondence, office, or field audit
  • The IRS has asked you to appear in person
  • You are unsure how to respond or what documentation to provide

How Mosser.tax Can Help

Most IRS audits are resolved through correspondence — the IRS requests documentation to support items on your return. Others are conducted in-person at an IRS office or at your home or business. Mosser.tax helps you at every stage:

  • Review the audit notice — Understanding exactly what the IRS is questioning is the starting point.
  • Gather documentation — We help you identify and organize what you need to respond effectively.
  • Prepare your response — A clear, well-organized response reduces the risk of the IRS expanding the audit to other years or issues.
  • Represent your position — If there are legitimate reasons to dispute an IRS finding, we help you present that case.
