Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need professional representation during an IRS audit?+

While you may represent yourself, many taxpayers benefit from having a CPA and Enrolled Agent manage communications, organize documentation, and help navigate complex tax issues with confidence.

Can you represent me if another firm prepared my tax return?+

Yes. We regularly assist clients regardless of who prepared the original return and can step in at any stage of the audit process.

What should I do if I receive an IRS notice?+

Do not ignore it. Contact us promptly so we can review the notice, explain its implications, and help determine the appropriate next steps.

What documents should I bring to my consultation?+

Please bring any IRS notices or correspondence, copies of relevant tax returns, and any supporting records related to the items under review. We will advise if additional documentation is needed.

Can you communicate directly with the IRS for me?+

Yes. With proper authorization, Sebastian can communicate directly with the IRS, respond to information requests, and represent you throughout the audit process.

Does receiving an IRS notice mean I did something wrong?+

Not necessarily. IRS notices are often issued for routine reasons such as information matching discrepancies or requests for clarification. We can review the notice and explain exactly what it means.

How long does an IRS audit take?+

The duration varies depending on the complexity of the case, the type of audit, and how quickly information is provided. We work diligently to help move the process forward efficiently.
