Connecticut residents facing tax audits can seek help

On Behalf of | Mar 2, 2018 | Tax Audits

Every year, you’ve completed your taxes to your best ability. You’ve either taken on the role of tax preparer yourself or you turned to a trusted individual to get everything filed for you. Your returns were accepted with no problem, and you paid or received a refund as expected. Then it happens — you receive notice that you are being audited for a tax return submitted two years ago. You and other Connecticut residents like you who are facing tax audits can seek help to get through it unscathed.

No one wants to be audited. Sometimes, people are chosen at random and just have to put up with the process, and sometimes, the IRS actually has reason to question one’s tax return, either due to a minor a glaring error. It doesn’t matter why the audit is occurring; it is, and how you handle it matters.

The good thing about tax audits is that you do not have to go through it alone. You have rights. Some of them include the right to information and the right to legal representation. The IRS cannot withhold information from you. They have to tell you why they are conducting the audit, and they cannot refuse to work with you if you have an attorney helping you through the process.

When you get the notice that you are being audited, you may not feel that attorney assistance is really required. At the end of the day, though, it is always better to have help at your side than face the situation alone.
