IRS Tax Audit Attorney in New Jersey & New York
An IRS audit can lead to additional tax, penalties, interest, liens, collection action, or even more serious investigation if the facts are mishandled. The earlier you get legal guidance, the better your chances of keeping the audit focused, organized, and strategically managed.
Todd S. Unger represents taxpayers during IRS audits, disputed examinations, CP2000 issues, audit reconsideration matters, and related tax controversy problems. The goal is to protect your rights, present the strongest available documentation, and avoid unnecessary escalation.
Do Not Handle a Serious IRS Audit Alone
An IRS audit is more than a request for paperwork. The IRS may be reviewing income, deductions, business expenses, records, deposits, tax reporting, or prior filings. How you respond can affect not only the audit result, but also whether the matter expands into penalties, collection activity, or additional scrutiny.
Legal representation can help you understand what the IRS is asking for, organize the response, avoid unnecessary disclosures, and protect your rights throughout the examination process.
