IRS Audits & Exams
“The IRS is questioning my charitable deductions, how do I defend them?”
When the IRS questions charitable deductions, the review often turns on the type of gift, the quality of the records, and whether the organization was eligible to receive tax deductible contributions. Appraisals, acknowledgments, bank statements, and contemporaneous logs can all matter, especially for noncash donations or larger items. The answer also depends on whether the return matches the paperwork filed by the charity and how the donation was valued. In many cases, the IRS is looking for support that ties the contribution to the tax return and shows the transfer was actually completed. 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.
