Tax audit representation, also called audit defense, is a service in which a tax or legal professional stands in on behalf of a taxpayer during an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or state income tax audit.
In the United States, during an income tax audit or examination, the IRS and all states allow a taxpayer to have an authorized representative. The representative must be authorized to practice before the IRS or state, and specific credentials are required. The types of representatives who are allowed to represent taxpayers before the IRS in income tax audits include attorneys, certified public accountants, and enrolled agents. Hirsch Tax Pros is qualified to provide this service and we have years worth of experience as well.
