Audit Reconsiderations and Appeals
If you’ve received a tax audit notice and weren’t happy with the outcome, don’t just accept it and move on. You have options including requesting an Audit Reconsideration or filing an Audit Appeal. At Golden Lion Tax Solutions, we represent both individuals and businesses in challenging audit results to pursue the best possible resolution.
Audit Reconsiderations
An Audit Reconsideration is a less formal process than going through a full-blown appeal.
It’s an option to consider if you disagree with the IRS or state tax audit results and meet any of these scenarios:
You did not appear for the audit and want to explain why
You moved and never received notification of the audit
You have additional information or documentation that was not presented during the original audit
You believe the audit’s findings are incorrect and want to challenge them
You didn’t file a tax return as required, and the IRS or state has created one for you
This request is reviewed by the Central Reconsideration Unit, which considers the new or missing information you provide. The goal is to present a clear, well-supported case, and that’s where having a tax resolution specialist on your side makes all the difference.
Audit Appeals
If an Audit Reconsideration doesn’t resolve the matter to your satisfaction, you can take things a step further with a formal Audit Appeal. This process escalates your case to the IRS Office of Appeals, where Appeals Officers have more flexibility and authority than the original auditors. They review all aspects of your case and the challenges you’ve raised, giving you another chance to achieve a better outcome.
Challenging an audit can feel intimidating… but you don’t have to go through it alone. The team at Golden Lion Tax Solutions is experienced in navigating both reconsiderations and appeals. We know how to advocate for your best interests, organize your case, and fight for the resolution you deserve.
