IRS Audits -Understanding Why Using a CPA for IRS Audit Representation is Important

An IRS audit is never
pleasant, but it’s a fact that such audits cannot be avoided
once the IRS decides to conduct one. Once you receive a notice
you are being audited, the smart thing to do is call a CPA. Some
try and handle the IRS on their own, but you may be in a losing
position when you don’t have a CPA representing you. Remember
not having a CPA to represent you for an IRS audit is like not
having an attorney to represent you for a murder trial.
Retaining
a CPA for audit representation is important for the following
reasons:
1).
A CPA can help prepare you totally for an audit. You should always
contact a CPA as soon as you receive a notice from the IRS. An
experienced CPA will have an understanding of what information
is necessary for a successful audit. Also, with a CPA’s
representation your presence during the audit is not necessary.
2).
An experienced CPA is aware of all tax laws, past and present.
They can guide you accordingly and help when a problem come up
during an audit. Having a CPA represent you can help avoid penalties
and interest or help in getting them lowered. You can also use
the cost of a CPA as a tax deduction.
3).
A CPA is Certified Public Accountant that is skilled in handling
all your accounting as well as tax preparation. CPA’s are
required to stay up to date with the latest tax laws. Therefore,
you can be sure that your accounting and tax work will be handled
efficiently.
4).
Since CPA’s certification is issued by the Board of Public
Accountancy, they must adhere to ethics and business practices
that are monitored by government agencies.
5).
Finally, your CPA will make sure there are minimal to no errors
reported on returns filed by you to the IRS. If your return shows
little are no errors, then you can feel confident to know the
IRS feels the same way.
Now that it’s
clear a CPA is a must for an audit, you should look around for
an experienced CPA to represent you for an IRS audit.
