Do I have to meet with the auditor myself?
No. With a power of attorney on file, we handle the examination on your behalf. In most correspondence and office audits the taxpayer never speaks with the examiner at all.
IRS AUDIT REPRESENTATION · SPOKANE, WA & THE INLAND NORTHWEST
IRS audit representation in Spokane: never speak to an auditor alone.
An audit letter doesn't mean you did something wrong — it means the IRS wants to look. How that examination goes depends heavily on what gets said, what gets handed over, and who is doing the talking. Our enrolled agents and tax attorneys attend so you don't have to; the IRS talks to us, and you get a summary in plain English.
Licensed to represent taxpayers before the IRS · Flat fees, quoted in writing before any work begins
WHAT IT IS
Representing you before the IRS from the first notice through the final determination — and into Appeals if the examiner gets it wrong.
WHO IT HELPS
Individuals and small businesses who received a correspondence, office, or field audit notice, or a proposed adjustment they don't agree with.
WHAT IT COSTS TO START
Nothing. The first case review is free, and representation is quoted as a flat fee based on the scope of the examination.
HOW IT WORKS
Four steps.
Prepared, not surprised.
An audit is a process with rules. We know them, and we keep the examination inside the lines — narrow, documented, and on schedule.
1
Free case review
We read the notice with you and identify what kind of audit it is, which years and items are in question, and what the deadlines are.
2
Power of attorney
You sign Form 2848. From that point, the examiner's calls and letters come to us, and you don't attend meetings unless you choose to.
3
Preparation and response
We organize your records, reconstruct what's missing where the law allows, and respond to each information request precisely — answering what is asked, not volunteering what isn't.
4
Resolution or appeal
If we agree with the result, we close it out. If we don't, we take it to IRS Appeals, where an independent officer reviews the examiner's findings and many disputes are settled.
What you say to an auditor can't be unsaid.
Most people walk into an audit wanting to be helpful. They explain, they estimate, they hand over more than was requested — and they expand the scope of their own examination. Examiners are trained to listen for exactly that.
Representation changes the dynamic. Every request is answered in writing, every document is reviewed before it is produced, and the conversation stays on the items actually under examination. It also protects you from agreeing to something at the table that you would have contested with time to think.
QUESTIONS, ANSWERED PLAINLY
What people ask us
about IRS audits.
What if I don't have receipts for everything?
Missing records are common. Bank and credit card statements, third-party confirmations, and reasonable reconstruction are often accepted for legitimate expenses. We tell you honestly which items are defensible and which aren't.
How long does an audit take?
Correspondence audits can close in a few months; office and field examinations often run six months to a year. Responding promptly and completely is the biggest factor in keeping it short.
Can the audit expand to other years?
It can, if the examiner sees a pattern. Keeping the response narrow and precise is part of the representation, and a big part of why people shouldn't handle audits alone.
I'm outside Spokane. Can you still represent me?
Yes. Enrolled agents and tax attorneys can represent taxpayers before the IRS in any state, and audit correspondence is handled by mail, fax, and phone. We serve Washington, Idaho, Oregon, and Montana.
