Frequently Asked Questions
What is a tax audit?
A tax audit is essentially an accounting procedure, where your individual or company financial records are closely inspected for accuracy.

Why are my taxes being audited?
The IRS is supposed to tell you why your return was selected for audit, but it is your prerogative to ask. Some audits are random, and others are part of related examinations.

Do I need a lawyer for a tax audit?
Depending on the type of audit, you may not need a lawyer. While it's a good idea to have a lawyer present for an in-person audit (also known as a field audit) you don't need one for minor paper audits.
