Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a CPA represent me before the IRS?
Yes. CPAs have unlimited representation rights before the IRS, meaning we can represent you in audits, appeals, and collection proceedings. You do not need to interact with the IRS directly.
I received an IRS notice. What should I do?
Contact us right away. Do not ignore the notice, as there are usually deadlines for response. We will review the notice, determine what the IRS is requesting, and handle the response on your behalf.
Can you help me reduce penalties I already owe?
In many cases, yes. The IRS has provisions for first-time penalty abatement and reasonable cause relief. We evaluate your situation and submit abatement requests when the facts support it.
What is the difference between an audit and an examination?
They are essentially the same thing. The IRS uses the term examination, while most people say audit. Both refer to the IRS reviewing your return and supporting documentation to verify accuracy.
How far back can the IRS audit my returns?
The standard statute of limitations is three years from the filing date. However, it extends to six years if the IRS suspects a substantial understatement of income, and there is no limit in cases of fraud or failure to file.

State and local tax (SALT) obligations are often more complex and varied than federal requirements. Each state has its own rules for income tax, franchise tax, gross receipts tax, and various other levies. We help businesses navigate multi-state compliance, take advantage of available credits and incentives, manage apportionment, and develop SALT deduction strategies. Whether you operate in two states or twenty, we make sure you are compliant and not paying more than you should.

Regulatory compliance is not just a big-company concern. Small businesses face requirements from federal, state, and local regulators that can carry significant penalties for noncompliance. We conduct compliance reviews, assess your internal controls, identify process improvements, and help you build systems that keep you in good standing. Our approach is practical and proportionate to the size and complexity of your business, giving you confidence without unnecessary burden.
