IRS Audit Representation

IRS Audit Representation Services in Billings, MT

Mason CPA, P.C. handles IRS audit representation for individuals and businesses. When you get a notice from the IRS or a state agency, we step in and deal with it directly. Our goal is to make sure your rights are protected and your case is handled with care.

 

We represent you throughout the process and handle every step, including:

Our team works directly with the IRS, so you don’t have to. We prepare and submit documentation, attend meetings, and work through the audit process. If the IRS makes a request, we handle the response. If they ask for more information, we will review your records and reply to you. If a meeting is required, we show up and represent you. You won’t be left to figure it out alone. We explain what’s happening and what to expect next. With Mason CPA, P.C., you don’t need to speak to the IRS—we’ll do it for you.

Handling IRS Communication and Negotiations

We focus fully on handling communication and negotiations during an IRS audit. Many people feel unsure about what to say or how to respond. That’s where we come in. Once we take your case, we speak to the IRS or state officials directly, and we become the main contact on your behalf. We examine the notice, figure out what the IRS is asking for, and prepare a clear, factual reply. We also make sure that no information is missing or misstated, which is a common issue in audits.

 

When penalties are involved, we see if you’re eligible for abatement. We write and submit requests that explain your situation in a way the IRS accepts. If your tax bill is more than you can pay, we can help submit an offer in compromise. This allows you to settle for less than the full amount legally owed, if you qualify. These steps require careful review and direct communication with the IRS. We take care of that. We also handle in-person or virtual meetings with tax officials, so you don’t have to attend. From the start of the audit to the final decision, we stand between you and the IRS to protect your interests.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ask Us What You Want To Know From Us

What triggers an IRS audit in the first place?
Audits can be triggered by reporting errors, unusually high deductions, mismatched documents, or random selection. Large cash transactions, home office claims, or business losses over several years can also raise flags that lead to an audit notice.
Can a tax audit be conducted by mail?
Yes. Many audits start as correspondence audits where the IRS asks for specific documents by mail. If they need more details or if things don’t match up, it can escalate to an in-person or office audit.
Will an IRS audit affect my credit score?
No, an IRS audit itself does not impact your credit score. However, if you owe money and don’t pay, the IRS may file a tax lien, which can show up on your credit report and affect your rating.
How many years back can the IRS audit?
The IRS can usually audit returns filed within the last three years. In cases involving major errors or suspected fraud, they can go back six years or more. Keeping old tax records is recommended for at least seven years.
