When the taxpayer believes that the audit resulted in an inappropriate increase in their tax liability, it’s a huge concern. In these cases, taxpayers feel they need to have their voice heard, but oftentimes just get steam-rolled by the IRS or Revenue Officer that was, at the time handling their case. Either the client was not present at the time of the audit, or perhaps unaware of it due to not receiving notice, or simply decided not to respond to the notice. Regardless of the circumstances causing the dispute, Practical Tax Solutions will proceed with requesting the IRS to reopen the case so that we may evaluate the prior audit findings as a dispute to pay the additional tax.
