IRS Audits & Exams
“I completely missed the strict deadline to respond to an IRS audit letter, have I automatically lost my legal right to fight the proposed tax changes?”
Missing an IRS audit response deadline does not always mean the matter is over, because the practical impact often depends on the type of letter, the stage of the exam, and whether the IRS has already issued a proposed adjustment or final notice. In many cases, the available options are shaped by what information was requested, whether there is documentation to support the original return, and how far the case has progressed administratively. The timing of the response, the wording of the notice, and any appeal rights tied to that notice can all affect how the issue is handled. Working through the specifics with a CPA is the cleanest way to land on the right move.
