What an Audit
Really Means

An audit doesn’t always mean you did something wrong. In many cases, it’s a routine verification of reported income, deductions, or credits. The IRS and state agencies conduct audits to confirm that returns were filed accurately, not necessarily to accuse you of wrongdoing.

Our job is to help you understand the notice, gather supporting documentation, and manage all communication with the tax authority on your behalf.

Our Audit Representation Services

We represent clients in all stages and types of audits, including:

Correspondence Audits – Responding to mailed IRS or state inquiries regarding specific items on your return.
Office Audits – Preparing documentation and meeting with auditors to explain return positions and support deductions.
Field Audits – On-site examinations of your business records or property by IRS or state agents.
State-Level Audits – Representation for audits conducted by the Oregon Department of Revenue or Washington Department of Revenue.
Post-Audit Appeals – Filing appeals or reconsiderations when audit findings are inaccurate or unfair.

Each engagement begins with a complete review of your filed returns and notices to identify what’s being questioned and why.

Our Resolution Process

Consultation & Transcript Review – We review your IRS and state records to confirm balances and identify issues.
Financial Analysis – We assess your income, expenses, assets, and liabilities to determine eligibility for specific programs.
Strategy Development – We outline realistic resolution options and explain their pros, cons, and timeframes.
Representation – We handle all communication with tax authorities, so you never have to speak to an agent directly.
Verification & Compliance – Once an agreement is approved, we ensure it’s properly recorded and that future filings remain compliant.

Why Professional Representation Matters

Handling an audit without representation can lead to unnecessary exposure, missed documentation, or inadvertent admissions. By working with a licensed Enrolled Agent, you gain:

Direct representation before the IRS and state tax authorities.
Knowledge of procedural rules and taxpayer rights under the Taxpayer Bill of Rights.
A professional advocate to ensure your case is treated fairly.
Peace of mind knowing every detail is handled correctly and confidentially.e.

Common Audit Triggers

Audits can result from many factors, including:

High deductions relative to income.
Inconsistent income reporting (1099s or W-2 mismatches).
Real estate or Schedule C business expenses.
Unreported investment or digital asset income.
Random IRS selection.

Whatever the cause, our experience allows us to anticipate auditor concerns and prepare a clear, well-supported response.

Protect Your Rights During an Audit

An audit can be stressful, but with experienced representation, it doesn’t have to be. Let Premier Tax & Resolution LLC manage the process, communicate with the IRS or state, and ensure your return is defended properly.
