Audits and Examination

Lionsgate tax professionals also offer audit representation and other contests to IRS (or state) examinations. These are situations in which the actual amount of tax owed is disagreed upon between the taxpayer and IRS. The IRS can either file their own tax return (for the taxpayer), can assess a new tax in addition to the taxpayer’s filed return, or can start an audit, in which the tax return filed is deeply evaluated to allow the IRS to assess additional tax that they believe was incorrectly missed.

Similar to the other tax resolutions, these cases will begin with an initial consultation with one of our tax professionals. You will have the process explained and any questions answered. Upon engagement, our team will move quickly to establish our relationship with the IRS so that they will discuss future matters directly with us. Our attorneys seek to build strong professional relationship with our counterparts at the IRS, which often helps with their treatment of our clients’ cases, including deadlines. From there, our teams works efficiently and quickly with you to build a case and demand the lowest amount of tax that should be correctly assessed. In the event our team does not think the best result was reached for your case, we will immediately exercise your Appeal Rights.
