IRS Audit Defense
Expert Protection During IRS Audits and Examinations
Being audited by the IRS is stressful and intimidating. Axio Tax Relief provides experienced representation to defend your interests and achieve the best possible outcome.
What is an IRS Audit?
An IRS audit is a review or examination of your tax return to verify that the information you reported is accurate. The IRS uses audits to ensure taxpayers are complying with tax laws and reporting the correct amount of income, deductions, and credits.
Being selected for an audit doesn't necessarily mean you did anything wrong. The IRS uses computer screening, random selection, and comparison with similar returns to choose which returns to audit. However, certain red flags can increase your chances of being audited, such as unusually high deductions, business losses, or significant charitable contributions.
Regardless of why you were selected, having professional representation during an audit is crucial to protecting your rights and minimizing your tax liability.

Conducted by mail, requesting documentation for specific items on your return.
Office Audit
You meet with an IRS agent at a local IRS office to review your records.

An IRS agent visits your home, business, or accountant's office for a comprehensive review.
