In most instances, the IRS comes to their conclusions and does
not consider the reality of the taxpayer’s issues. These results are an outcome
that you are not pleased with. The IRS’s primary concern lies in collecting
your money and assets regardless of the fact that you have a family to take
care of or bills that you are unable to pay. All taxpayers dread facing an
audit conducted by the IRS.

The average taxpayer does not know that they can appeal
to the final results of an IRS audit. If you disagree with the audit outcome, you can submit a written formal protest within 30 days to negotiate with the IRS and possibly lower the amount of your tax debt. The procedure is not to be done on your own since it is far too complicated. You must obtain a tax professional to handle this matter for you.

Most audit appeals are used to the taxpayer’s advantage,
80% of audit appeals are successful to some extent. Submitting the formal protest and filing the appeal not only holds the IRS off your case for a few months, but it may also help minimize the liabilities you have with them. This may be a huge relief off your shoulders.

All appeals are handled by a different division within the IRS,
which is known as the Appeals office, meaning that once you file the appeal, you most likely will not have to deal with the IRS agent who audited you in the first place; you will usually deal with the appeals officer only. This may benefit the taxpayer since the appeals officer is not as familiar with your case as the agent who audited you is an appeals officer. In some cases, maybe more considerate than your original IRS field agent was.

As stated above, you will require professional assistance in appealing an audit. 
Since this is a touchy procedure, you must choose who you want to represent you
wisely. Not all CPAs are alike. We have seen instances where a taxpayer hires a
CPA or an attorney to handle their IRS audit issues. The result was not
phenomenally successful simply because not every CPA or attorney knows all the
IRS rules and regulations. Not every CPA is indeed tax professionals. Enrolled
Agents’ knowledge and understanding of the tax law and IRS is limited and
basic. You must hire somebody who deals only with resolving taxpayers IRS
issues daily.

Not knowing the proper guidelines on approaching the IRS can make the taxpayer’s situation far more complicated.
