IRS Audits & Exams
“I'm under IRS audit, what should I do right away?”
An IRS audit often turns on the type of exam, the items being reviewed, and how the notice was delivered, so the first step is usually to read the letter carefully and confirm exactly what period and records are involved. In many cases, the response also depends on whether the audit is by mail or in person, whether the issue involves income, deductions, or credits, and whether supporting documents are easy to gather. Keeping the original notice, organizing records, and tracking any deadlines or contact information can help clarify the situation while the facts are being sorted out. A focused session can map this against your actual situation in plain English.
In your 60-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.
