Frequently Asked Questions
Multistate Tax FAQs
How long do I have to respond to an IRS audit notice?
Typically 30 to 60 days from the date on the notice. However, some notices have shorter or longer deadlines. Don’t wait — contact us as soon as you receive any correspondence from the IRS.
Can the IRS audit me if I used a CPA to prepare my return?
Yes. Using a CPA doesn’t prevent an audit. You are ultimately responsible for the accuracy of your return, regardless of who prepared it. However, having professional representation during the audit is critical.
What if I can’t find the documents the IRS is requesting?
We can often reconstruct records using bank statements, third-party records, and other sources. The sooner you engage us, the more options we have to build your case.
Will an audit affect my future tax returns?
Not directly. However, if the IRS made adjustments, those changes may affect carryforward items like losses or credits. We’ll review the impact and make sure your future returns reflect the correct figures.
