IRS Audit Defense,
handled strategically.
An IRS audit notice is alarming — but it does not mean you did anything wrong. Our AI Legal Nerds help you understand exactly what the IRS wants, how to respond, and how to protect yourself throughout the audit process.
Types of IRS Audits
Not all audits are equal. Understanding what type of audit you are facing is the first step to responding effectively.
Correspondence Audit
The most common type — conducted entirely by mail. The IRS requests documentation for specific items on your return. Our AI helps you respond precisely and completely.
Office Audit
You are asked to visit an IRS office to discuss your return in person. Our AI prepares you for exactly what to bring, what to say, and what not to say.
Field Audit
The most intensive audit — an IRS agent visits your home or business. Typically reserved for complex returns or businesses. Professional representation is strongly recommended.
What To Do When You Get an Audit Notice
Do not panic
Most audits are routine correspondence audits that resolve quickly with proper documentation. Read the notice carefully — our AI helps you understand exactly what is being requested.
Note your deadline
IRS audit response deadlines are strict. Typically 30 days for correspondence audits. Missing the deadline can result in automatic assessment of the IRS's proposed changes.
Gather documentation
Only provide what the IRS specifically requests. Our AI helps you identify exactly which documents to gather and how to organize them for maximum effectiveness.
Respond in writing
Always respond in writing and keep copies of everything. Never ignore an IRS notice. Our AI drafts your response letters professionally and strategically.
Your Rights During an IRS Audit
You have the right to professional representation — a CPA, tax attorney, or enrolled agent can represent you.
You have the right to know why the IRS is auditing you and what they are looking for.
You have the right to appeal any IRS decision through the IRS Appeals Office.
You have the right to only provide documents specifically requested — do not volunteer additional information.
You have the right to request more time to respond if you need it — the IRS generally grants one extension.
You have the right to take the IRS to Tax Court if you disagree with their final determination.
