WHAT DOES AUDIT DEFENSE MEAN?
Businesses strive to increase profits, often taking tax deductions and credits to reduce liability.
The IRS is constantly on patrol for businesses claiming any deductions or credits that the agency deems to be “out-of-the-ordinary,” even if the company has rightfully claimed those amounts
If the IRS suspects a business has wrongfully claimed a deduction or credit, the agency can place the company’s tax return, or returns, under audit. These audits can be done through the mail, at a company’s place of business or even at an IRS field office.
