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.

“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?”
“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?”
“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?”
