Been audited by the IRS and received a notice with bad news. Are you stuck with the results? Or, can you take action to get a result that you feel is more accurate? Anytime we deal with the IRS the process can be daunting. But if you disagree with the results of an audit, you have the right to request an audit reconsideration. This process allows taxpayers to present new information or evidence that was not previously considered, potentially leading to a revised audit outcome.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to obtain IRS audit reconsideration:
-
Hire a Tax Professional - An Enrolled Agent (EA) can provide guidance, help you understand eligibility, and ensure your request is thorough and accurate.
-
Gather Documentation: Collect all relevant documents that support your position. This may include receipts, bank statements, or any other evidence that was not available or not considered during the initial audit.
-
Prepare a Written Request: An EA will write a detailed letter on your behalf to the IRS explaining why you disagree with the audit results. The letter will clearly explain how the included information or evidence impacts the audit findings.
Submit Your Request: Your written request and supporting documentation will be sent via certified mail to the IRS office that conducted the original audit. I recommend keeping copies of everything sent for your records.
-
Follow Up: Patience is important. It will take several months for the IRS to review your case. It is essential to promptly response to any IRS request for additional information.
By following these steps, you can effectively request an IRS audit reconsideration and possibly achieve a more favorable outcome.
