Why You Need a Troy Tax Attorney for Your Audit Defense

Tax audits strip away your privacy and put your assets, income, and financial security at risk. IRS agents aren't on your side. They're trained to extract information that harms your position and increases what you owe.

You shouldn't face this alone. Without proper representation, a single misstatement can trigger serious penalties or transform a routine audit into something far worse. Our Troy tax attorneys stand between you and the IRS, ensuring your rights remain protected throughout the audit process.

Types of Audits We Handle

Correspondence Audits: The IRS sends an audit letter requesting specific information about your tax return. These seemingly simple requests often hide traps for the unwary. Our tax attorneys craft responses that protect your interests without revealing more than necessary.

Office Audits: The IRS demands you appear at their office for questioning. Our tax attorneys attend in your place, shielding you from direct interrogation designed to expand the scope of the investigation.

Field Audits: The most invasive examination, where IRS agents enter your home or business. Our experienced IRS audit lawyers manage these intrusions, limiting access and protecting sensitive information.

Common Concerns About Tax Audits

Should you talk to the IRS without a lawyer?

No! IRS agents ask carefully crafted questions designed to extract harmful admissions. A single unguarded statement can transform your audit from routine to ruinous. Our tax attorneys ensure you never face questioning alone.

What happens if you can't provide the requested documents?

Missing tax documentation doesn't mean automatic defeat. Our tax attorneys develop alternative methods to substantiate your positions even when original receipts or records have disappeared. We've helped clients overcome documentation challenges that initially seemed insurmountable.

Can a tax audit lead to a criminal investigation?

What begins as a routine review can escalate to a criminal investigation if the IRS suspects tax fraud or tax evasion. Having tax attorneys involved from day one creates a protective barrier against this dangerous escalation.
