If you’ve undergone an IRS audit and disagree with the results, the IRS Audit Reconsideration Process offers a pathway to resolve disputes and potentially reverse the outcome. At Expert Accounting Services LLC, we specialize in audit reconsideration and tax resolution, providing expert guidance for individuals and businesses in Atlanta and nationwide.

What is IRS Audit Reconsideration?

The IRS Audit Reconsideration Process is a specific type of reconsideration designed to help taxpayers challenge the results of an audit. It’s a chance to provide additional information or correct inaccuracies without needing to go to Tax Court or file an appeal.

This process is ideal for taxpayers who:

• Disagree with the outcome of a tax audit.
• Failed to provide critical documentation during the audit.
• Were unable to attend the audit appointment.
• Discovered IRS calculation errors.
• Have filed a return for a year where the IRS prepared a substitute return (SFR).

Unlike an appeal, audit reconsideration directly revisits the audit findings, giving you a second opportunity to present your case.

Why Choose Audit Reconsideration?

Audit reconsideration can save you time, stress, and money by resolving tax disputes before they escalate into collection actions, such as wage garnishments or bank levies. For individuals and businesses in Atlanta, EAS Income Tax Services provides localized, expert support to streamline this process.

This process is especially helpful if:

• You face substantial penalties or interest resulting from an audit.
• The IRS assessment was based on incomplete or incorrect information.
• You believe your case deserves another look based on new evidence.

Step-by-Step Guide to the IRS Audit Reconsideration Process

1. Understand Your Audit Results

Carefully review the IRS audit report and any associated notices. This will help identify specific areas of dispute.

2. Gather Relevant Documentation

Collect all necessary evidence to support your claims, such as:

• Bank statements
• Contracts
• Receipts
• Proof of deductions or credits
• Missing or corrected tax returns

Note: The IRS only accepts evidence directly related to the disputed items.

3. Prepare Your Request for Audit Reconsideration

Write a detailed explanation of why you disagree with the audit findings. This explanation should include:

• A summary of disputed issues.
• A description of the new evidence you’re providing.
• References to supporting documentation.

4. File Form 12661 or Submit a Written Request

Use Form 12661, Disputed Issue Verification, if applicable, or draft a clear and concise letter outlining your case.

5. Submit Your Request

Send your audit reconsideration request along with all supporting documentation to the IRS office listed on your audit notice.

6. Wait for IRS Review

The IRS will review your submission and either:

• Adjust the audit findings.
• Request additional information.
• Deny your reconsideration request (if this happens, further options may include filing an appeal or going to Tax Court).
