IRS Resolution & Audit Representation: Your Expert Guide
Navigating an IRS notice, audit, or collection action can be one of the most stressful financial experiences. At Prestivo Tax, our IRS Resolution and Audit Representation service is your strategic defense and guide. We act as your authorized representative, handling all communication with the IRS and state agencies to resolve your tax issues efficiently, protect your rights, and achieve the best possible outcome.

What is IRS Resolution & Auditing?
IRS Resolution encompasses the entire process of solving a tax dispute with the Internal Revenue Service. This includes responding to notices, negotiating payment plans (Installment Agreements), pursuing penalty abatements, settling debt for less than owed (Offer in Compromise), and stopping aggressive collection actions like liens and levies.

An IRS Audit is a review of your tax return to verify that your income, deductions, and credits are reported accurately. There are three main types:

Correspondence Audit: Handled via mail for specific, limited items.

Office Audit: Conducted at an IRS office for more complex issues.

Field Audit: The most comprehensive, where an IRS agent reviews your records at your home, business, or our office.

"Audit Representation" means our experienced professionals—including Enrolled Agents and CPAs—will represent you before the IRS. We prepare all necessary documentation, communicate directly with the revenue officer or auditor, and advocate on your behalf.

Our Step-by-Step Process for Resolution & Representation
1. Comprehensive Case Analysis
We begin with a confidential consultation to review your IRS letters, audit notices, tax returns, and financial situation. We identify the core issues, assess your exposure, and outline your options.

2. Strategic Planning & Authorization
We develop a clear strategy tailored to your specific case. You’ll sign a power of attorney (Form 2848), granting us the legal authority to represent you before the IRS. All communication will then be directed to our office.

3. Proactive Representation & Negotiation
This is where we take the lead. Our team handles all direct interaction with the IRS, including:

• Preparing and submitting detailed responses and supporting documents.
• Attending all meetings and interviews in your place.
• Negotiating with the IRS to reduce penalties, lower tax liabilities, and arrange affordable payment solutions.
• Appealing unjust decisions within the IRS or to the U.S. Tax Court.

4. Achieving Final Resolution
We work diligently to bring your case to a close, whether through:

Audit Closure: Successfully substantiating your return.

Payment Plan: Establishing a manageable Installment Agreement.

Settlement: Negotiating an Offer in Compromise.

Penalty Relief: Securing a First-Time or Reasonable Cause abatement.

Status Resolution: Correcting your filing status to "Currently Not Collectible" if you are facing financial hardship.
