How the IRS acts here
Audits involve document requests, interviews, and proposed adjustments. An unresolved exam can lead to a Notice of Deficiency, which starts the 90-day clock to petition Tax Court. Your options at each stage: respond, negotiate, appeal — and petition Tax Court if needed.
Why representation matters here
What you say and how you document it matters. We manage the exam, keep it focused, and protect your position — and because Josh is a USTCP, if the case escalates toward litigation it stays with the same team instead of being referred out. Josh handled roughly one IRS audit a week from 2015 to 2022, and we work alongside former IRS personnel when a case calls for it.
This describes how a process works, not a promised result. Outcomes depend on each taxpayer's facts and are not typical or guaranteed.
