Frequently Asked Questions

Audits can be triggered by red flags like unusually high deductions, missing income, or random selection. We help you understand why you were chosen and how to respond.

Yes! Whether you’ve just received your first notice or are deep in the process, we can step in immediately and take over communication.

Not necessarily. Many audits end without additional tax owed—and some even result in refunds. Our job is to ensure a fair and accurate outcome.

It depends on the complexity of the case. Some audits wrap up in weeks, others may take several months. We keep the process moving and keep you informed every step of the way.
