If you’ve received an IRS audit notice, it can feel overwhelming. At PickleTax Resolutions, we represent you directly with the IRS and guide you through every step of the audit process so you never have to face it alone.
An IRS audit can be stressful and confusing. You may be asked to explain items on your return, provide documentation, or meet with an examiner. The IRS may also propose changes that increase your tax bill.
At PickleTax Resolutions, we represent you in all communications with the IRS so you never have to speak with them yourself.
We help you understand what the IRS is asking for, prepare your responses, and ensure your rights are protected throughout the process.

At PickleTax Resolutions, we help you understand the outcome, review any changes the IRS proposes, and clarify your next steps. If something doesn’t look correct, we help you challenge it through the appropriate channels.
If you’ve received a letter or the IRS has already contacted you, it’s important to act quickly. At PickleTax Resolutions, we review your notice, explain your options, and help you move forward with a clear plan.
You can be selected for an audit for many different reasons. Sometimes the IRS picks returns at random. Other times, something on your return doesn’t match what the IRS has on file, or a number looks unusual for your income or industry. It doesn’t always mean you did anything wrong.
There are three main types of IRS audits. A correspondence audit happens by mail when the IRS asks for documents or explanations through letters. An office audit requires you to bring records to a local IRS office. A field audit is the most detailed and happens when an IRS agent meets with you in person, often at your home or business.
If you ignore an audit notice, the IRS won’t make the issue go away. They can move forward without your input and decide that you owe more tax, plus penalties and interest. Ignoring the notice also removes your chance to explain or fix anything. It’s always better to respond before the IRS makes decisions for you.
Yes. You have the right to be represented during an IRS audit. A tax professional, such as an Enrolled Agent, can speak to the IRS for you, answer their questions, and handle the process so you don’t have to deal with the IRS directly.
The documents you need depend on what the IRS is reviewing. They may ask for proof of income, expenses, deductions, or business records. At PickleTax Resolutions, we tell you exactly what applies to your audit and help you gather only what the IRS needs.
Yes, an audit can increase your taxes if the IRS finds something on your return that wasn’t reported correctly. But an audit can also end with no changes at all. In some cases, the IRS even discovers that you should have paid less. Every audit is different.
After the audit is complete, the IRS will send you the results. They may agree with your return, suggest changes, or say you owe more. If you disagree with their findings, you usually have the chance to ask questions or appeal. At PickleTax Resolutions, we explain what the results mean and help you understand your next steps.
Yes. If you don’t agree with the results of your audit, you can usually appeal the decision. The IRS gives you a chance to ask questions, provide more information, or request a review by the IRS Appeals Office. At PickleTax Resolutions, we explain your options and help you take the next step.
