What is IRS Audit Reconsideration and how can it help you?

When a taxpayer is faced with a situation where an audit deficiency has been assessed and you believe it is in excess of the correct tax liability, you may be able to convince the IRS to reconsider the tax liability.

Audit reconsideration is an IRS procedure designed to help you when you disagree with the results:

  • An assessment IRS made because of an audit of your tax return, or
  • A return IRS created for you because you did not file a tax return, as authorized by IRC 6020(b).

See Publication 3598 for more information.  http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p3598.pdf

Sometimes an audit reconsideration can be initiated by filing an original delinquent return or an amended return.

For example if you have not filed a return and IRS has made a deficiency assessments the filing of an original delinquent return may provide IRS with the information necessary to reconsider the deficiency assessment. 

We can help you determine what options are available to you.
