Overview
When it Comes to Tax and Audit Representation, We’re Here to Help
No one wants to receive a letter from the IRS. Even if the issue seems simple, the way you respond matters.
The IRS audits a small percentage of tax returns, but audits and notices can still happen, especially when a return includes complex tax items, significant business expenses, higher income, or deductions that require additional support.
Many IRS audits begin as letters requesting clarification or additional information. Others may involve more detailed correspondence or field audits. In either situation, professional representation can make the process less stressful and more organized.
Why This Service Matters
IRS Auditors Represent the IRS, Not You
You may be tempted to respond to an IRS notice on your own. But even if you understand the issue, it is important to remember that IRS auditors work for the IRS. An incomplete response, incorrect explanation, or missing document can increase the risk of additional tax, penalties, or further review. Having an experienced tax professional represent you helps ensure communication is handled carefully, deadlines are addressed, and your position is presented clearly.

FAQ
Common questions about IRS Audit Representation
What should I do if I receive an IRS audit letter?
Do not ignore it. Read the letter, note the response deadline, and gather the records it mentions. Contact a tax professional before responding so your reply is complete and accurate.
Can a CPA represent me in an IRS audit?
Yes. CPAs can represent taxpayers before the IRS. With your authorization, Heaven & Alvarez LLC can communicate with the IRS on your behalf, handle audit correspondence, and present your position clearly.
Why not respond to the IRS on my own?
IRS auditors represent the IRS, not you. An incomplete response, an incorrect explanation, or a missing document can increase the risk of additional tax, penalties, or further review. Professional representation helps make sure deadlines are met and your records are presented properly.
