It is extremely stressful to learn that your business has been selected for an audit by the IRS and it can be a source of continual concern. Will your company be penalized?

Our IRS Representation Process
What is included in our IRS representation service, then? It’s critical to comprehend the three possible IRS audit scenarios for your company in order to respond to this question. Correspondence audits are the first. In this kind of audit, the IRS sends a letter to your business requesting more details. This could entail requesting additional explanation for a tax deduction or clarification of your financial statements.
- Correspondence Audits
- IRS Office Audits
- Company Local Audits
The IRS can perform the second and third types of audits at your business or at one of its offices. Your business must invest a significant amount of time in planning, preparing, and communicating with IRS agents during each of these audits. This includes responding to inquiries and providing explanations or justifications for your financial statements or tax deductions.
The majority of SMEs lack the resources and time necessary to get ready for an IRS audit. Furthermore, the majority of new startups and SMEs lack the knowledge necessary to manage the audit. Questions concerning your company’s finances, financial statements, the rationale behind specific deductions, and seemingly endless inquiries regarding expenses are all part of that audit.
Our objective is to assist your company in cutting expenses and increasing productivity, whether that be through remote payroll services, accounts receivable and payable management, outsourced accounting and bookkeeping, CFO services, virtual office management services, or IRS representation. We concentrate on giving clients the best possible IRS representation, from tax planning and settlement services to crucial tax negotiation services.
Fortunately, our IRS representation services remove these headaches altogether. Here’s how our IRS representation process works.
Making sure your business has an efficient tax plan is the best defense against an IRS audit. The kind of business you run and the market you serve must be taken into consideration when creating that plan. Certain tax deductions are more unique to the kind of business you own and run, even though there are some common deductions that all businesses can claim.
At Doherty & Associates, we serve not-for-profit businesses, construction firms, manufacturers, distributors, retailers, wholesalers, professional service providers, and restaurants. Each client we serve benefits from our extensive industry-specific experience. We can make sure all of your expenses are recorded and know how to optimize your tax deductions.
Filing your taxes on time and with accurate financial documentation is the best defense against an IRS audit. An IRS audit is much less likely to occur when your cash flow, balance, and income statements are prepared correctly and all of your expenses are tracked and recorded.
We can handle your company’s accounting and make sure you have transparent financials with easy accounting for all expenses and deductions as an outsourced accounting firm that provides IRS representation services.
Doherty & Associates can make sure that your taxes are submitted on schedule. Our ability to work as your accounting team, however, is our biggest asset. This lowers your expenses, frees up your time, and guarantees that you have a skilled staff to manage any IRS requests.
We offer vital tax negotiation services to clients who want our staff to simply represent them before the IRS. We will respond to all incoming IRS requests for clarification on your behalf. In the event of an audit, we will act as your company’s go-between, responding to all inquiries and carrying out all necessary follow-up.
