IRS Audits & Exams
“I am going through a correspondence audit specifically regarding my home office deduction, what specific photos, blueprints, or logs will the examiner want to see?”
In a correspondence audit focused on a home office deduction, the examiner often looks for records that support both the business use and the space itself. Photos, floor plans, lease or ownership records, and logs showing how the area is used can all matter, along with documents that help separate personal and business portions of the home. The exact mix of proof often depends on whether the office is a dedicated room, how the space is measured, and whether the claim is based on actual expenses or a simplified approach. Clear, consistent records usually carry more weight than informal notes alone. A focused session can map this against your actual situation in plain English.
In your 90-minute session, the KGOB advisor handling it will:
- Read your exact situation and tell you, in plain English, what’s actually going on.
- Lay out your options and the trade-offs — no jargon, no judgment.
- Give you a clear next step you can act on, whether that’s with us or on your own.
“I lost all my physical receipts from a year I am currently being audited for, can I use credit card statements and bank logs to prove my business expenses?”
“I just got a Letter 525 proposing thousands in changes to my tax return, how do I officially request an appeal conference with the IRS Independent Office of Appeals?”
“The IRS completely disallowed my claimed dependents during an audit, what specific legal documents or school records do I need to prove that they live with me?”
“I agreed to the changes the IRS proposed during my desk audit, how long do I have to pay the massive new balance before they start aggressive collections?”
