How to Get Proper Representation before the IRS
Getting called in to a meeting with an IRS auditor is not unusual, even locally, but it is not a light matter either. Being subject to an IRS audit may be indicative of one of several possibilities. Among others, it may be a result of simple errors in tax returns which need correction. Alternatively, it may be the start of a probe toward a possible criminal case. Either way, getting the proper Boca Raton IRS representation is of utmost importance to individuals or businesses being subject to an IRS examination.
What is Boca Raton IRS representation?
Getting subject to an audit entitles a taxpayer to the proper representation. This is also naturally true for Boca Raton. IRS representation entails getting the services of a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) or a tax lawyer to review your financial documents, and either prepare you for the audit meeting/interviews, or speak on your behalf. Of course, taxpayers have the right to not avail of professional representation and represent themselves instead, but many have found this impractical especially without in depth knowledge of the nature of forensic accounting or tax laws. If a taxpayer decides to avail of the services of a professional representative, that professional must allow the IRS to confirm his or her professional credibility.
Additionally, a CPA and a tax lawyer are not necessarily mutually exclusive of each other. There are professionals out there who are both CPAs and tax attorneys, or are CPAs with an extensive background in tax law.
The Importance of a Representative
The practical benefit of getting professional Boca Raton IRS representation is the fact that professionals, such as a CPA, will most likely have experience working with the IRS on similar cases or issues. This therefore provides the taxpayer with a higher chance of getting a favorable outcome.
