Receiving a tax audit or examination notice can be stressful. You don't have to face a tax auditor alone. We can represent you and handle the case on your behalf. Whether it is the IRS, state or local taxing authority, taxpayers have the right to professional representation.​​​

​​​​

There are many types of audits that can be conducted.

 

Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and California Employment Development (EDD) audit/examinations include but are not limited to:

 

• Worker classification of independent contractors that are misclassified and should be employees.

• Employment tax audits and examinations of businesses.

• ​Audits regarding compensation for shareholder-employees of corporations and their family members are often scrutinized. Certain key insiders at nonprofits such as officers, directors, trustees, or key employees are subject to compensation guidelines. Family members of these individuals and entities they control are also subject to examination.

​​

The California Employment Development (EDD) collects employment tax/payroll tax. This includes Unemployment Insurance (UI) and State Disability Insurance (SDI). The EDD handles disputes over Unemployment Insurance claims by workers against hiring entities.

​

The California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) can carry out tax audits related to income tax and franchise tax. In addition, they conduct California residency audits and other issues.

​​​

The California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) collects a wide range of taxes and fees, with sales tax and use tax among the most well known.

 

Audits can target, but are not limited to unreported income, incorrect deductions, business expenses, credits and losses.
