~Taxes, the IRS and You~

It is important that you understand how the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) views you as a taxpayer. When conducting an audit, the aim of the IRS is to collect the maximum amount of revenue from you, as a taxpayer, in the least amount of time. The IRS attempts to make adjustments on the filings of those taxpayers who lack professional representation and who are the least willing or able to come to their own defense.

It is well documented that information in IRS databases on taxpayers, is not always accurate. Unfortunately, this can affect you directly in the form of significant overpayment of your tax liability, including penalties and interest.

According to a recent study conducted by Money Magazine, nearly half of the 30 million IRS penalty notices mailed out each year are erroneous. Furthermore, recent results of an IRS internal audit found that the information provided to taxpayers by IRS employees answering the agency’s toll-free hotline is incorrect at least 30% of the time! This incorrect information costs individual taxpayers thousands of dollars in penalties and interest.
