IRS Audits & Exams
“I received an IRS audit letter, what should I do first?”
An IRS audit letter often calls for a careful first look at the notice type, the tax year involved, and the specific items the IRS is asking about. The wording in the letter can indicate whether the matter is a correspondence exam, an office exam, or a broader review, and that affects how records are gathered and how the response is organized. It is also common to review prior returns, supporting documents, and any deadlines or instructions listed on the notice, since the details in the letter usually shape the next steps and the scope of the examination. A focused session can map this against your actual situation in plain English.
